'Heifer a good time not a long time' is the theme for College Royal activities taking place October 15 - 17th on the Agricultural Campus in Truro/Bible Hill.
College Royal celebrates the long-standing tradition of agricultural showmanship while celebrating the unique culture of the campus. Demonstrations include livestock handling skills, knowledge of agricultural plants and the ever popular Farmers' Olympics - a myriad of events relating to "Good Ol' Life on the Farm - think hay bale rolling, feed sack racing and of course the famous milk chug.
The event is a testament to generations of students, dedicated to maintaining the culture of animal-husbandry and health, while continuing to improve public awareness of agricultural issues.Â
