It is unique in that all decisions concerning the operation of the herd are made by the students as a group. It is, in essence, a student run business operating at the Paul Miller Research Center on Spear Street.
Students have complete responsibility for all facets of the operation.
This gives everyone involved an opportunity to get hands-on experience working with the animals, as well as managing the business interest of the farm. The whole system revolves around the idea that work experience is the only way to learn management skills. The group is divided into several committees which are involved in different facets of the operation. Each member is required to serve on 4 committees which they are interested in. Committee groups do research and work in their area and, when necessary, present problems to the entire group for a vote.
