Tour 13: 
Central Piedmont Beef & Dairy

Begin the tour with a visit to Kingsmill Farm II, an elite Holstein dairy.  This herd is based on an embryo transfer program with the highest quality genetics available. Many world champion production cows call Kingsmill home.  Our next stop will be the Butner Beef Field Lab, NC State University's beef nutrition research facility.  This research facility has state of the art nutrition research barns, a research cow herd, forage research and the Butner Bull Test Station.  We will finish the day at Braeburn Farm, a grass finished beef farm.  Braeburn Farm has been a pioneer in raising and marketing Devon grass finished beef.  This farm is also the home of a successful English horse training facility.  Make plans to join us.
