Title
Wagon bed used during sheep shearing, 1904
Description
A two horse team hitched to a wagon bed on which has been built an open framing covered with poultry wire, and in which are six sheep and a man shearing one of the sheep. Temporary signs on the wagon are turned except for one, which reads ""Dorset."" The driver is dressed as for a horse show. Men in suits in the background look on. Old Botany (now Carrie Chapman Catt Hall) can be seen in the background through a heavy screen of trees. The photograph was taken in the fall of 1904, probably on Excursion Day.
The history of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences begins with the founding of the Iowa Agricultural College and Model Farm in 1858, with classes beginning in 1869. As a land-grant institution, Iowa State was founded primarily to provide practical education in agriculture and the mechanic arts. Through the years, agriculture courses and short courses have focused on agricultural engineering, agronomy, animal husbandry, dairying, forestry, and horticulture. In the 21st century, the focus is on animal and the plant sciences, biotechnology life sciences, sustainability, and global development.
