  • It has now been almost 2 months since I had the opportunity to travel to Uruguay. I can honestly say coming home from the trip was extremely difficult. Going into the trip I really didn’t know what to expect, I only knew a few of the students going and I certainly didn’t know any of…

    I was one of the students who got to stay an extra day in Uruguay! It was so great to hang out in Montevideo and relax.  Since I have been back home, I told my dad about the technology that they use to feed the calves and he was very interested! I am so glad…
