Beatrice at age 19 enjoying a day in the pasture.
Recently a very dear member of the OSU community was humanely euthanized due to complications of old age. Queen Beatrice, the fistulated cow, served OSU and its students for many years. She was about 21 years old when she died. Beatrice was loved by all who had contact with her. An 8″x8″ brick memorial paver stone will be purchased for $500 to honor Bea. It will be inscribed with “Thank you Beatrice for many years of service to OSU 1989-2010” and will be placed with other pavers in front of the college.
Anyone wishing to honor Bea and contribute to her memoriam should contact Large Animal Reception at 541-737-2858. Any questions can be directed to Betsy Snyder betsy.snyder@oregonstate.edu or Pat Hutson pat.hutson@oregonstate.edu at Veterinary Medicine.
