This year THLHS has been incredibly lucky to partner with Dursley Poll Dorset Stud, operated by Brian and Steven Williams.
In May we took on four rams and four ewes to begin preparing for shows.
This was a great experience for the students studying Agriculture and has very much been a combined effort across a range of classes.
A very big thank you to Claire Romeo from Riverina Stockfeed at Young for the donation of bagged pellets that has helped towards the rams and ewes getting to peak condition.
Georgia Petty, Keira Chown, Tom Vonthien, Ali McCann, Izabelle Murray and George Troth attended the Dursley on farm Ram Sale on Wednesday. They chatted to buyers and agents and also paraded two of the rams during the auction.
This was a great learning experience and a wonderful way to top off all the hard work preparing the sheep.
Most importantly we would like to thank Brian and Steven for donating the full sale price of their Lot 1 ram to THLHS Agriculture Program.
This was an incredibly generous offer and our thanks extend to MCC Chudleigh Dobell Stock and Station agents for their involvement in the auction and declining to take a commission on the sale of this ram.
A huge thankyou to the various bidders and buyer on the day, their generosity has allowed us to add $3000 to our agriculture program!
We look forward to building this partnership in the future and having our students participate in many exciting opportunities within the agriculture industry.
