A group of people stands on an elevated platform inside a livestock handling facility, listening to a man in a blue shirt and cap who is giving a presentation. Behind metal railings, cattle are visible in holding pens. The setting appears to be educational, with participants observing and taking notes. University Farm Dairy Unit Coordinator Corey Burgess explains how to check for mastitis in cows during a 2025 Small Farms Field Day session.
