From Tinternwood Farm to Clunes Showgrounds, our Young Farmers have put their skills to the test in a fantastic hands-on agricultural experience.
Six Merino wethers arrived at Tinternwood Farm earlier this year, with selected Year 8 and 9 students working alongside our Year 11 Farm Captains, Sophie and Caitlin, to develop a broad range of skills across sheep and wool production. After months of dedication and hard work, students travelled to Clunes Showgrounds to take part in a friendly competition between 28 teams from 14 Victorian schools.
Despite the rain and mud, our students enthusiastically took part in activities to estimate the value of the sheep, assess the wool, show the sheep and perform wool handling duties for the shearers.
One of our teams placed an impressive 7th overall, competing against teams largely made up of Year 10–12 students from rural schools. A fantastic achievement and a wonderful demonstration of the knowledge developed by these Young Farmers.
