She figured highly at Te Awamutu Group Day hosted at Korakonui School, then Alyssa White took her lamb Pepsi to the 2019 Waikato Show, winning Champion Early Rearing.
The duo also attended the Matamata A&P Show last month, winning the Supreme Champion Lamb award, after picking up Champion Most Obvious Pet and Champion Rearing.
Alyssa has been raising animals every year for agricultural days since she was 5 years old and this was her final year. Over these years she has raised lambs, kid goats and calves and says she has also met some amazing people who volunteer to judge at school and regional agricultural days.
