Across the district lambs have been washed, calves brushed, piglets prettified and goats groomed in readiness for pet days or calf and lamb days at schools in the area.
Pupils from Ngaere and Midhirst schools were just some of the many to enjoy the annual date on their school calendar last week and the Stratford Press was there to capture some of the action.
Send us your photos: Send us your pictures from your school event, along with a brief description of what is happening and who is in the picture, and we will print them in future editions (space allowing). Email pictures (in jpeg format) to editor@stratfordpress.co.nz
More photos will be loaded up into a photo gallery this week.
