§ 37-113-33. Foundation herds of beef cattle, sheep and hogs

The board of trustees of state institutions of higher learning is hereby authorized and empowered to purchase, breed, maintain, manage, show and sell foundation herds of beef cattle, sheep and hogs at the Mississippi State University of Agriculture and Applied Science. The said board is further authorized to establish necessary facilities, to employ and maintain necessary personnel, and to take any other action necessary to carry out this program.
The purpose of this program is to provide a means for the broadening, balancing, and rounding-out of courses in animal husbandry for the training of animal husbandry students in livestock breeding, feeding, fitting, showing, judging, buying and selling, and to establish and maintain a source of foundation seed stock.
Selected animals purchased, or produced, under this program may be sold only at public auctions sponsored by breed associations, after approval of the board of trustees of state institutions of higher learning. The proceeds accruing from the sales of such animals, from show premium money, or from any other source, shall revert to, and be used for the maintenance of the revolving fund, when established by law, to carry out this program.
This is a remedial statute and shall be liberally construed to accomplish its purpose.
