Abstract
I am humbled and honored to receive the L. E. Casida Award, especially because Dr. Casida was my mentor for the Ph.D. I thank the Awards Committee for selecting me as the recipient. I would not be qualified for this prestigious award had it not been for the efforts of my students. I feel this award belongs to them, too. I have been fortunate during my career in academia to have attracted excellent students to my laboratory. It has been a pleasure and intangible benefit to observe the intellectual transformation in logic and reasoning power that occurred during the tenure of their graduate education. As far as I know, all are, or have been, successfully engaged in work related to the livestock industry or the biological and medical sciences. I am proud of their many accomplishments.
