NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The University of Tennessee has decided to keep the Jersey herd at the school’s Institute of Agriculture Research and Education Center in Lewisburg.
The university had been considering moving it to save money.
University officials told legislators that the center’s research focus, however, will be narrowed to issues related to production and reproductive physiology.
Federal stimulus funds had allowed a delay in moving the herd that would have occurred during the last fiscal year, which ended June 30.
