Students plan and prepare for the event months in advance and college Head of Agriculture Craig Thompson, said: “All the students have done fantastically well. You could really see the effort they had gone to in preparation for the competition. It made a thoroughly entertaining spectacle.”

The event was staged at Lodge Farm at Myerscough’s new Livestock Innovation Centre.

A raffle at the event raised more than £500, which was split between suicide prevention charity Papyrus and a student project.

Dave Iveson (Level 2 Agriculture Programme Leader) said: “Many students had never put a halter on a calf before and to see them so confident in handling these livestock now is extremely rewarding. They should be very proud of themselves.”
