In use since 1980, the farm at Cummings School raises beef cattle, sheep, dairy replacement heifers, laying hens, pigs, corn and hay. The animals are used extensively in a variety of teaching settings at Cummings School.
The Department of Environmental and Population Health promotes the health and well-being of farm and laboratory animals through environmentally appropriate husbandry and population based preventive medical practices and therapies. The aim of the department is to enhance the viability of farms, stables, and laboratory animal facilities while providing students and animal caretakers with practical experience and knowledge.
