University of Findlay's Pre-Veterinary Barn and Beckett Animal Science Building are located at the Western Equestrian Farm, about seven miles south of Findlay at 14700 US Route 68. The barns are an integral part of the Animal Science/Pre-veterinary Medicine Program's unique hands-on approach.
The Dr. C. Richard Beckett Animal Science Building is a 31,000-square-foot facility that is filled with the University’s livestock herds which include cattle, hogs, goats and more. Animal Science students spend much of their time at UF at the barns learning practical animal handling such as animal husbandry, care, restraint, nutrition and animal behavior.
The building includes two 50-seat classrooms, a laboratory, a pharmacy, instructional demonstration areas, holding pens and other animal servicing areas.
Findlay’s Animal Science/Pre-Veterinary Program is highly respected for its hands-on approach beginning with the freshman year, and its graduates have been accepted to all 28 veterinary schools in the United States and several internationally.
