Dr Stephanie Woods, CREAM project coordinator, Greenmount Campus, CAFRE.CREAM, Greenmount Campus’ (CAFRE) student led project provides Higher National Diploma Agriculture and Agricultural Technology Degree students with the unique opportunity to manage a high genetic merit Holstein herd. The herd is milked three times a day, with students carrying out the routine tasks including milking, feeding and breeding decisions.
The students leading the project this year hosted the first of their biannual CREAM project Advisory Board day meetings earlier this month. The CREAM students provided updates of recent performance from their feeding, breeding, finance and promotion, and milking and health teams. Pictured above is Dr Stephanie Woods (CREAM project coordinator) and some of this years senior students, along with Brian Hunter (United Dairy Farmers), Brian McCauley (Firmount Veterinary Clinic), Robyn Irvine (Fane Valley), Charlie Kilpatrick (CAFRE) and Michael Graham (CAFRE).
