K-STATE LIVESTOCK AND MEAT INDUSTRY COUNCIL

In 1966, a devastating tornado ripped through the town of Manhattan, causing damage across campus and largely impacting the Kansas State University Animal Sciences and Industry Department. Serving his first year as department head, Don Good worked with producers across the state to raise funds to rebuild and due to his efforts, the Livestock and Meat Industry Council, Inc (LMIC) was formed... "Some key projects LMIC recently helped the department with are the Swine Unit renovations and purchase of cattle working equipment that allows collection of research data on properties that lack adequate facilities," Day explains. "Because of LMIC and its contributors, we are able to keep our units, equipment and facilities up to date and provide our students with real-life livestock management opportunities."
