Waterman Dairy Farm Tours

Introduction

History: The University's dairy farm located on the west end of the Columbus campus is used extensively for teaching and research. It is the home of about 140 Holstein (black and white cows; most popular dairy breed) and Jersey cows (brown cows; among the smallest in body size of the dairy breeds) and about the same number of growing female dairy animals (called heifers). Cows are milked two times per day. Under the leadership, of Ms. Micki Zartman, the farm has hosted thousands of school-age children over the last several years.

Overview of Program: The tours are primarily hosted by OSU students who are either members of the Agricultural Education Society or the Buckeye Dairy Club. For the 2008-2009 academic year, tours are being offered during the fall and spring. If you schedule a tour, it is very important that: 1) you BE ON TIME for the tour and 2) a signed biosecurity form must accompany each individual on the tour (click here for forms).
