Bush Districts Boys and Girls Agricultural Club show day

Competitors waiting for judging.

This year's Bush Districts Boys and Girls Agricultural Club show day was held on November 10 and involved 53 children from eight local schools. The children all entered either a lamb or a calf for judging. The lambs were judged by Barry Wilton along with Carron and Nick Perry. The calf judges were Bob Lawson, Braydon Schroder, and Jeremy Gloyn. Each child received at least a ribbon, certificate, spot prize, and a chocolate bar.

Farm Source Pahiatua supplied the calf ribbons. Farmlands Pahiatua supplied the lamb ribbons and Ravensdown sponsored the medals for the champions in each section. Perrin Ag donated the major spot prize of two nights' accommodation at Parehua Resort Martinborough. Ian and Debbie Mason kindly covered the cost of an Aberdeen Restaurant voucher.

Calves lined up for judging.
