Today the animal science class had the opportunity to picture baby pigs. They learned that it takes a lot of patience to be able to get these animals to Cooperate and not get frustrated, they figured out and learned the importance of the correct angle and views, and to make sure the lighting is adequate to hide shadows. These students had the opportunity to vaccinate and ear notch these same pigs when they were born. Attached are some of the shots they captured.
