Farm Excellence: Dairy

Our network of strategic dairy farms share good practice through on-farm and virtual events, giving you access to industry experts and the latest research.

Strategic farms follow either an all-year-round or block calving system so you can see relevant real world demonstrations and get ideas to make improvements on your farm.

The farms are solid performers who openly and honestly share their experiences and performance figures at on-farm and virtual meetings.

You’ll hear about a range of topics from mastitis and managing calves to breeding and buildings. We’re confident you’ll find something of interest.

We’re aiming to have 26 strategic farms across Great Britain funded by AHDB, Welsh Government and Volac’s charitable foundation.

The farms form part of our Farm Excellence platform, a network of inspirational farmers who open their doors to help you learn, share and create new ideas to drive innovation and productivity.

Learn more about each farm, see their key performance figures and updates from past meetings and webinars.
