Go straight to the heart of one of Alberta’s biggest industries – beef.

You’ll start learning on the farm from day one. That’s Lakeland’s Student-Managed Farm – Powered by New Holland.

You’ll study commercial and purebred cow/calf operations as well as feedlots. And, you’ll start at calving and go through the complete production cycle. Your courses range from livestock genetics to meat science.

Hands-on and student-led experiences are the bedrock of this program. You’ll go beyond the classroom and into the real world from pasture to plate.

Those opportunities are centered in our student-managed farm (SMF) model. Or, if you choose student-directed practicum.

For example:

hone your business management and marketing skills using real-time data to make decisions

build leadership and organization skills by planning and running sales and events such as The Roundup

experience summer and winter calving management options

You’ll be ready to start your career in any industry sector, or on your own farm or ranch.
