The introduction to agriculture class recently learned about Dr. Temple Grandin and her research discussing animal behavior and fear free handling of animals. After conducting research of their own, these students constructed chutes to move an animal from one cage to another without physically handling the animal and attempting to create a fear free environment! Today they tested their chutes on some very adorable guests!
