The breadth of his contributions were on display in presentations at the K-State Swine Profitability Conference, during the ASI Farm Animal Reproduction and Genetics courses, and during a symposium presentation to faculty, staff and students at K-State.”
A plaque featuring a photo of Prather and a brief summary of his accomplishments was hung in Weber Hall at Kansas State in recognition of this award.
