Oklahoma Beef Council Supports Endowed Professorship
Fri, 17 Sep 2010 17:30:39 CDTThe Oklahoma Beef Council is gifting 250-thousand dollars to Oklahoma State University to create an endowed professorship in honor of animal scientist and autistic expert Dr. Temple Grandin. Heather Buckmaster, Oklahoma Beef Council executive director, made the announcement last week during a special seminar featuring Grandin. More than 3000 people attended the seminar.
Buckmaster said - funding the Temple Grandin Endowed Professorship in Animal Behavior and Well-Being is important to the cattle industry because the resulting research and education will help further our understanding of animal behavior and animal care. Buckmaster said, - there is a direct link between improved animal care, performance, beef quality and ultimately beef demand.
The Temple Grandin Endowed Professorship in Animal Behavior and Well-Being will be housed in OSU's department of animal science a part of the university's Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, comprised of the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources and two state agencies: the Oklahoma Agricultural Experiment Station system and the Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service.
