Cows Create Careers
Cows Create Careers is a Dairy Australia project that promotes career opportunities in the dairy industry. Students from years 7-11 learn about the dairy industry while caring for dairy calves on loan from local farmers.
Farmers and industry professionals such as vets, field officers or cheesemakers teach students about different aspects of the industry.
