Agricultural Day!!
Every year that I have been at school I have taken a calf to agricultural day which I call calf club . My calf that I decided to take this year was called Freckles because I noticed that she had a really freckly nose. For the last few weeks I have been brushing her and leading her all the time to get her ready for calf club. So last Tuesday it was the big day I was up early so that I had enough time to feed freckles, make sure that she was clean and get her to Kihikihi School which was where it was held. Once we arrived I once again checked that she was clean which thankfully she was and then at 10:00 it was ready to start. First up was leading, I had to lead freckles around a course, she did stop a couple of times though so I only came 4th. Next up was rearing, in rearing the judges will check over all of the calves for how clean they are and whether they have any loose hair. In this my calf did rather well as she managed to get a first as well as a champion. Then it was dairy type which is how well they will milk when they get older, in this my calf got second. So overall we had a good day together and I definitely cant wait until Group Day.
