The work is never really done for anyone who works with animals. Even during UConn\u2019s Winter Break there are chores to be done, including feeding the horses, milking the cows, and collecting eggs from the chickens. Students in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources who work with the animals are important participants in keeping things running smoothly. Three of those students, Catherine Maher ’14, Valerie Mazrek ’14, and Ashley Biase ’13, were captured by one of UConn Today\u2019s photographers while taking care of UConn\u2019s herd of horses during the week between Christmas and New Year\u2019s.<\/p>\n
