Bush kids show off their lambs at Agricultural Club Show Day

Lachie Coppell chilling out.

This year's Bush Districts' Agricultural Club Show Day was held on November 8 and attracted 70 children and their lambs.

Due to the threat of Mycoplasma bovis no calves could participate.

Sophie Sowry won the Wilton Family Ribbon for having the best bond with her lamb.

A new venue, the Mangamaire School grounds, provided a great backdrop for the day.
The success of the day was enhanced by the generosity of many sponsors.

All children who attended left with a ribbon, a spot prize and a chocolate bar.

Flynn McNicol (Pahiatua School) won Junior Champion Lamb, Export Lamb (Junior White), Reserve Champion Pet Lamb and was second in Blackfaced Lamb.

Farmlands Pahiatua supplied the ribbons, Ravensdown supplied the medals and the BNZ supplied the major spot prize — a $250 Rebel Sport Voucher.

Abbreviations are: Alf = Alfredton; Bal = Ballance; Eke = Eketahuna; Kum = Kumeroa; Mgt = Mangatainoka; Pah = Pahiatua; Pap = Papatawa; StA = St Anthony's; Wdv = Woodville.

Manaia Papworth (Alfredton School) won Supreme Champion Lamb, Wilton Cup for best Export Lamb and the Burnes Cup for Best Black-Faced Lamb.
