🐾 3-Day Excursion to the Royal Adelaide Show 🐄🐎

Our RST Animal Care students spent 3 days at the Royal Adelaide Show last week learning about animal care and husbandry practices.

From watching competition judging in the main arena to getting close-up experience with horses and cattle in the stalls, it was a valuable study trip for everyone involved.

Great work to all students who participated! ✨

Following their visit to Sheepvention 2026 in Hamilton, students and teachers from Urrbrae Agricultural High School made a pit stop at Nepowie Stud.

The visit happened thanks to a suggestion from RST student, Tilly, who previously completed work experience at Nepowie. Beck, Simon, and the team were happy to host the group, sharing insights about AJ & PA McBride Ltd and Nepowie Stud, while Overseer Ebony spoke about her career journey in the sheep industry.

It is great to see our RST students taking the initiative to connect their learning with real-world industry experience. Well done, Tilly!

Following their visit to Sheepvention 2026 in Hamilton, we were delighted to welcome students and teachers from Urrbrae Agricultural High School to Nepowie, for a pit stop.

When one of our former work experience students, Tilly, suggested the stop, Beck, Simon and the team, were only too pleased to host the group and share more about McBride and our Nepowie Stud.

Students also heard from our Overseer, Ebony, a proud Urrbrae alum, who shared her career journey and experience working in the sheep industry.

A big thank you to teachers Charlton Jeisman and Elise Baum, and all the students for taking the time to visit.

We believe “you can’t be what you can’t see.” By opening our gates and sharing stories like Tilly’s and Ebony’s, we hope to inspire more young people to explore the rewarding careers agriculture has to offer.

We’d love to welcome you back again!
