The Gunby Equine Center also maintains a small band of brood mares. Students are also encouraged to bring their horses to campus. The Gunby Equine Center provides full board, access to all facilities, an experienced full-time barn manager, student employees, and access to the trails throughout the campus. The Normandy Dairy runs 200 head of cows, predominantly Jerseys, with 80 cows in milk. A wide variety of classes is taught at the dairy, where students learn dairy production, computer-generated management throughout the Dairy Herd Improvement Association, artificial insemination, and feed formulation.
Students also gain valuable hands-on experience.
The dairy also was picked as the Grade A Dairy of the Month on five separate occasions and in 1992-93 was ranked seventh top dairy of its size in the nation. In addition to raising its own replacement cows, the dairy obtains animals through donations from the general public. The Rollins Beef Research Center is an important part of the dynamic agricultural program at Berry College. The center has a research barn with capacity to feed 87 animals individually. The facility can accommodate research related to nutrition, genetics, reproductive physiology, animal breeding, and performance and progeny testing.
