Pets Day

Last Saturday it was our schools pets’ day.
For pets day I was going to have a goat called Earl but he died so I got a lamb called Halo.
In the morning I washed his legs and picked off the pieces of grass stuck on his body and brushed him as well as that. We put the lambs in the trailer and left for school.
When we got there we tied our lamb up by the fence and went to see my friends.
When they called us in I sat by Halo and waited till my turn. Well I didn’t have to wait very long because I was just after Shane and Shane was first to do his leading.
When it was Halo turn at leading he didn’t want to lead and normally he would just walk and walk really well at home.
When it was my turn at calling Halo just ran to me. He did real well in that and that’s because I got a 2nd.
Next was rearing. We all lined up beside the fence and just stood there.
That took along time and then we finally got to do the presentation.
These are our results…

Lambs
Maddy got 2nd leading
Scott got 3rd calling
Caterina got 1st rearing, 3rd leading
Angus got 1st calling, 1st leading, 3rd rearing
Justin got 2nd rearing
Kelly got 2nd calling
And Shane got a participation ribbon

Calves
Roma got 3rd rearing, 1st leading
Connie got 3rd leading
Nina got 2nd leading, 2nd Rearing
Rhys got 1st rearing

Kids
Koren got 1st calling, 1st leading, 2nd rearing
Kristal got 2nd calling, 2nd leading, 1st rearing

After they gave out all the ribbons, we got on to the gala and started spending money. Like on the gumboot throw and the nail drive.
In the nail drive I was 1st equal with Nina so we had to do a nail off. I came 1st for the girls prize and Nina came second.
When the nail off was finished we all went over to the hall to get our exhibit certificates.
They sold the men’s Pavlovas and the winner of that was Loyd Bishop.]
When we got back to the hall, most of the people and animals were gone. We put our lambs in the trailer and dropped them off at home and went to our nana and granddads for afternoon tea.
