The 2008 Texas A&M Beef Short Course was dedicated to Dr. Zerle Carpenter, who served as director of Texas AgriLife Extension Service (the Texas Agricultural Extension Service during Carpenter's tenure) for 15 years. Prior to that, he was head of the Department of Animal Science at Texas A&M University and also served in teaching roles. His wife, Lou, and two daughters were on hand. Dr. Larry Boleman, associate executive vice president for operations at Texas A&M University, presented the recognition plaque to Carpenter prior to the start of Monday afternoon's general session.
