    Copenhaver Sheep Center

    The Copenhaver Sheep Center plays a vital role in the teaching, research, and outreach missions of the School of Animal Sciences and College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. The center currently maintains three flocks for these purposes - registered Suffolk and Dorset flocks, and a flock of hair sheep (St. Croix , Barbados Blackbelly, and various crosses).
