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 another, suit the market they are catering to.

    I really enjoyed this course! The lessons were clear and practical, and I loved that I could study at my own pace while still working full-time. The tutors were always quick to answer my questions, which made learning so much easier. I feel confident applying what I learned on my farm, and honestly, it’s great value for the money.
