The Jordan College of Agricultural Sciences and Technology announced that Manuel Mancebo, Jr. from Tulare has pledged a $1 million bequest in support of the Fresno State dairy science program.

Mancebo, 87, helped build Kings County Truck Lines into an industry leader before selling the company in 2006. Starting as a mechanic apprentice for the family company at the age of 17, Mancebo climbed the company ranks, taking over the family business in 1971 at the age of 41.

In recognition of the bequest, the campus dairy production facility is to be renamed the Manuel “JR.” and Katye Mancebo Dairy.
