Training Programmes

Hands-on livestock training for students and partners — learning on a working dairy and beef ranch in Marondera.

Learning by doing

Practical experience on a working ranch

Dawnview Cattle Ranch hosts practical training programmes with FIVET and other partners, giving students real, hands-on experience with our dairy and beef herds.

Students work alongside our team and their facilitators — handling cattle, observing examinations and seeing how a working livestock enterprise runs day to day.
