This project transforms wool provided by South Dakota sheep growers into SDSU stadium blankets, queen-sized blankets and scarves which are then sold to fund scholarships within both the Animal Science Department and the SDSU College of Education and Human Sciences. The couple worked numerous hours bringing the project to fruition after being approached by Barry Dunn, South Dakota Corn Utilization Council Endowed Dean of the SDSU College of Agriculture & Biological Sciences and Extension Director, about the possibility of Signature Wool Products for SDSU. Patty dealt with Faribault Woolen Mill to produce the products. Rufus and Patty then transported the final products back to Brookings for the unveiling at the S.D. Sheep Growers Association Convention in 2013. Patty continues to promote the SDSU Signature Wool Products at a variety of events. The DeZeeuws are strong supporters of SDSU Extension activities and were instrumental in hosting the S.D. Sheep Growers Association convention and by helping support additional convention features such as a farm tour and “Taste of Lamb” events, which brought interest from sheep producers across the state. The DeZeeuws have held numerous advisory roles, including participation on the current College of Ag and Biological Sciences Dean’s Advisory Council and the Animal Disease Research and Diagnostic Laboratory Advisory Committee. The couple has also provided financial support to the wool judging team and other events throughout the years. Rufus and Patty both graduated from SDSU with degrees in Animal Science. Patty also received a Master’s Degree in Biology from SDSU. During their college career, they were members of the wool judging team and participated in Little International (Little I). Rufus was employed by SDSU’s Sheep Education and Research Unit and involved with Little I leadership positions. Their farming operation, which started as a purebred Suffolk flock, quickly expanded to the current diversified operation which has included purebred Suffolk, Hampshire and Columbia sheep, more than 120 commercial cows, and crops. In 2009 they received the S.D. Master Lamb Purebred Award for their excellence in production and leadership in the sheep industry. Patty started D & D Insurance in 1996 and continues as the owner and operator of that business. The “Friend of the Animal Science Department” recipient must have provided con- tributions to the department over a period of at least 10 years and may not be a current SDSU employee. ?iGrow finding the right job is easier than you think when you’ve got the right direction Stop searching.
