135 actually submit entries. Herbes is happy with the conversion
rate for the first year and hopes that will increase in coming years.
To enter, children from preschool through to high school age
submit a 100-word story about their calf, along with photos.
There are two categories – social and formal. The social section
is simply an online entry and the general public can vote. For
the formal category, judges around the country travel to farms
to judge entries in the flesh.

ABOVE: Emily Hickson, 5, at Turitea School in Palmerston North
in 2017. A judge visited her on the farm last year because of
M. bovis changes.
LEFT: Neko Kettle, 5, at Huirangi School in Taranaki with a calf sired
by a bull from Pennylane Hereford Stud. They still held their lamb
and calf day last September, but the judging was done on-farm the
day before, which took away a lot of the excitement.
