What we offer

Now that you have a better idea of where a dairy cow farming certificate can take you, it is time to start your success journey. These careers only represent the baseline of the kind of work you can do.

Some cattle breeds are preferred for use on a dairy farm. There are many reasons for this. They may give a greater quantity or quality of milk, but there can be other reasons for choosing one breed over another too. Certain breeds are more adapted to certain climates. Other breeds may adapt better to the feed available; or for one reason or other, suit the market they are catering to. Enrolling at Finstock Evarsity College will enable you to understand the various characteristics of the different breeds, so you can choose the most appropriate breed for any situation at hand. From there you will also learn to understand the husbandry techniques and everything else that is important about dairy production.
