Join the Agricultural Club 2017



We are now accepting horses for project animals to earn points for agricultural badges. There is no age restrictions to horses like other animals, but you must prepare a project to earn agricultural badges. 



Your next step...
1. Select an animal born after July 1st 2017 (not for horses).

2. Train it to walk to a lead or to be handled for a chick.

3. Begin creating your project book - due Friday 27th October 3pm.

4. Prepare to answer the Judge's questions at Pet, Group and Championship Days. See the blog for ideas - Judging Questions.
