The heart of Dairy Flat School’s Ag Day, is students with their animals, organisers say, and this year was no different.
Children paraded their hand-reared orphan lambs, calves and goats for judging and also brought along chickens they had raised from chicks.
This year’s event, on Saturday, October 29, was the 79th Ag Day.
Pony rides, the ‘make your own lollipop’ stall, food of every kind, market stalls and games such as Kick It were also big drawcards.
The theme for this year’s scarecrow making competition, ‘zany animals’, brought out the creativity of the children and their families.
The Young Farmer was won by Sam Franes-Stead.
The event is a big fundraiser for the school and brought in around $18,000. This will go towards setting up the Garden to Table programme next year.
Principal Katie Hills says next year there will new activities added.
