Dominic at the Royal Hobart Show

Good luck and many thanks to Ms Jane Myers, Mr Mark Nolan, Ms Miriam Cockerill and Ms Judy Scaife who will be working at various times over the coming weekend with our Year 5-10 students and their animals who are entered into the Royal Hobart Show.

We are entering sheep, alpacas, goats, rabbits, ducks and chickens.

This year we are entering our Dairy Goats: Chieri – Toggenburg, for her good looks and body conformation, and Tempest – Anglo Nubien, for her milk quality and quantity and her Udder.

She will be milked out twice a day for the three days to have her butterfat tested and the quantity she can produce.

Dairy goats will be shown by students Montanna Devine, Philip Kokkinoftas, Georgia Amos, Anita Cleaver, Kearna Warren and Oliver Wareing.

The Border Leicester Ewes and lambs will be shown by Melanie Cook and Abbi Smith. Melanie is also entering in the Junior Judging Competition for Sheep.

The Alpacas will be shown by Sarah Hawkins, Daniel Watkins-Reynolds, Darcy Woolley and Liam O’Sullivan.

Rabbits will be shown by our Year 5 students Harrison Mallay, Kaylee Strange, Taylah Bernes, Tanishka and Priyannika Kumrai.

The Silkie bantams will be shown by Sharni Stoward, the Pekin duck by Sophie Van Tienen.

There will be a Dominic Stand situated near the Homeware Shed and Life on the Farm shed, where we will be showcasing all the animals who are part of the Animal Husbandry course.

Many students from both classes and some parents will be there with their animals over the three days.

Dominic College was very successful last year so we hope to do just as well.
