Some history | ||||||
2016-17 was the first year for the Student-Managed Farm (SMF) livestock research unit.
During the first year, the team expanded their herd from 41 to 91 head. The team also looked for a new herd sire to improve the herd’s hybrid vigour.
Its first calf crop hit the ground in the spring of 2017. |
