ACU Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Department

Tomorrow! Y'all come on out to support the AES Club and all of the participants!

Our students work so hard every year to make this event happen, including getting sponsorships, arranging livestock, and organizing events. We are so proud of the work they do!

The 70th Annual AES Rodeo is coming up quick! This is a student run event that is held annually. Sororities, fraternities, and friends can create groups of 4 to compete in a variety of events. Scan the QR code below for more information. We can't wait to see everyone at this fun event!

Happy snow day from the Rhoden Field Laboratory! We hope everyone is staying safe and warm during this weather.

Our farm manager, Riley, is working diligently to take care of all the animals, particularly our lambs and kids that have been born in the last few days.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Today and every day we are thankful for the blessings the Lord has provided our department and our students. ♥️

Thanksgiving break might be in full swing for the university, but things never stop at the Rhoden! So proud of these students for braving the cold weather this morning to preg check some cows with Professor Willis and Riley, the farm manager.

Last night, our Pre-Vet club had a branding booth at the festival. There were hats and wood pieces for sale that could be branded, and they also did custom branding on personal items. The Rhoden Field Lab also provided animals for a petting zoo which is always a huge hit!

You can find the Pre-Vet club at the tailgate today with their branding booth, along with a few horses from the ACU Riding Team! Make sure to stop by and see us!

On September 19th and 20th, the Wildlife Society hosted the annual dove hunt! The dove were flying, and we had a couple first time hunters with us.

We had a few more hunters with us on the morning of the 20th. Thank y’all for supporting the Wildlife Society!

Check out our feature in ACU Today! We love the hands-on educational component that the Rhoden Field Lab is able to provide for students. Our students are able to gain hands-on experience their first semester, and it continues throughout their journey at ACU.

Thank you for the feature, Abilene Christian University!
