Description

Call the shots on the livestock side of Lakeland’s Student-Managed Farm (SMF). That’s not until 2nd year. You’ll start with practical skills and business record basics. This includes:

• Managing livestock feed, health and welfare
• Handling sheep, beef and dairy cattle safely
• Artificially inseminating cattle
• Assisting with calving and lambing
• Keeping agricultural business record
• Assessing key economics to develop business plans and market livestock

Then you’ll put your hands-on training in animal husbandry and livestock business management to work. You’ll connect to the sector of your choice as a member of a SMF team.

End result: you’ll have the leadership and hands-on skills to be effective in the livestock industry.
