Young Farmer Visit with Kylie Schuller



Young Farmer Visit 


On Wednesday 14th August we welcomed out young farmer Kylie Schuller. This opportunity not only gave us a chance to eat scones and sandwiches but gave us an insight into the beef industry.

Kylie showed a great power point  showing us that the beef industry is not only a successful one but provides countless opportunities for travel.

Winmalee students learnt about how much of the cow is used not only as a source of food but as a sustainable ingredient in lots of products you wouldn't think contained cow. We also learnt about what makes good meat. Students learnt that cows just don't eat grass but a range of foods that offer more nutrients to their diet. Sustainability is a key component with cows being feed by products from other industry's as well as grass and grains.

This opportunity gave students a fantastic chance to understand their meat better. So next time we eat meat we will be thinking twice about it.

A huge thank you to Kylie Schuller for taking the time to visit us. At the end of the day we had tonnes of new ideas for our cow and a different attitude to the beef industry.
