🐄 ABP Angus Youth Challenge – Study Trip Day 2 🐄 Day 2 – Part 1 Grainne, Minnie and Sally were up bright and early this morning as they headed off to visit two innovative dairy farms. The first stop was John Egerton’s Farm, Enniskillen, where the girls were welcomed by John’s sons and given a tour of the farm. One of the highlights was seeing the automatic milk feeder for calves in action. It was fascinating to learn how these systems improve farm efficiency while also enhancing animal welfare by providing calves with consistent, on-demand nutrition. The group then travelled to Harte Peat Farms, Leonard’s Island, Clones, where Tommy provided an excellent tour of the farm. Tommy’s passion for farming was clear to see, and he was more than happy to answer the girls’ many questions about the automatic milking systems, feeders and scrapers. It was amazing to see how modern technology can help a farm operate so efficiently while maintaining such high standards of animal health and welfare. The girls gained a valuable insight into the future of dairy farming and the important role technology plays in the industry. A fantastic and informative start to Day 2! 👏🐄 @ABPFoods @ABPAngusYouth #ABPAngusYouthChallenge #ABPFoodGroup #FutureFarmers #YoungFarmers #DairyFarming

🐄 ABP Angus Youth Challenge – Study Trip Day 1 🐄 Day 1 – Part 2 Grainne, Minnie and Sally took part in a steak cooking challenge, where they were placed into teams with students from other schools. This helped to develop their teamwork skills and gave them the opportunity to make new friends. A huge congratulations to Minnie’s team, who cooked their steak to an exceptionally high standard and were crowned the winners of the competition! 🏆🥩 The girls then took part in an educational session on food safety, learning how bacteria can grow in meat. They also carried out culture swabs to investigate bacterial growth and contamination, gaining valuable hands-on experience. Another fantastic and informative day for the girls on the ABP Angus Youth Challenge! 👏

🇷🇴 Day 5 – School Aid Romania 🇷🇴 What a fantastic day! This morning we visited the special school where our wonderful translator, Roxanna, teaches. School Aid Romania has proudly supported the school over the years through fundraising and providing much-needed resources, so it was incredibly special to see firsthand the difference that support continues to make. We then spent a few amazing hours at the Down Syndrome Centre in Braşov – and what a morning it was! There was singing, dancing, laughter and plenty of smiles all around. A special mention to the impromptu Gagnam Style disco that went down an absolute treat! The energy and joy in the room were infectious, and truthfully, none of us wanted to leave. After such a busy and emotional morning, we headed to a waterpark for a few hours of well-earned rest and relaxation. A perfect way to recharge as we reach the halfway point of our week, ready for everything the rest of this incredible journey has in store. #SchoolAidRomania #Day5 #MakingADifference #Brasov #DownSyndromeCentre

🐄 ABP Angus Youth Challenge – Study Trip Day 1 🐄 Gráinne, Minnie and Sally got their study trip underway as part of the ABP Angus Youth Challenge, with an exciting and informative first day at ABP Linden Primal, Dungannon. The girls heard from Lisa from ABP, who explained the journey of sustainable beef production from insemination right through to processing, highlighting the importance of sustainability and traceability throughout the supply chain. They also learned about the various stages involved in meat processing at ABP Linden. A highlight of the day was a guided tour of the processing facility led by Martin, who took the girls through the chiller and explained the different cuts of meat, the importance of fat and muscle in meat quality, and why a bigger animal does not always produce better meat. ABP Linden is renowned for processing beef and lamb and preparing and packing fresh meat products for supermarkets, food manufacturers and other customers across the UK and Europe. The group also had the opportunity to hear from Kellie McEvoy and Clement Lynch from the Ulster Farmers’ Union (UFU), who spoke about the role of the organisation and the opportunities available within the agricultural industry. To round off a busy and educational day, Gráinne, Minnie and Sally presented their project presentation to the other participating schools, representatives from ABP, and UFU representatives Kellie McEvoy and Clement Lynch. A fantastic start to the study trip, with plenty of learning, networking and new experiences. We look forward to seeing what the rest of the week brings! 🌟 #ABPAngusYouthChallenge #ABP #Agriculture #FutureFarmers #YouthDevelopment @abpangusyouth
