Our Companion Animal Science students are working in our Canine Care Center! Our daycare service provides not only animal care for members of our community, but hands-on experience for our students in Companion Animal Science. Underclassmen also worked on grooming and had the opportunity to do a litter evaluation! #BAPride #CultivatingExcellence #CompanionAnimal #SmallAnimal #Dogs
Our Environmental Engineering Seniors are so excited to partner with the Somerset Sportsman's Club and American Chestnut Foundation to restore the American Chestnut Tree (Castanea dentata) populations. Students learned how the club is currently managing their Chestnut populations in preparation for receiving seeds in the spring. #BAPride #CultivatingExcellence #EnvironmentalEngineering #EnvironmentalConservation
Today, we hosted the MA National Guard in the cafe so interested students could ask for information. #USA #BAPride #CultivatingExcellence

Seniors in Natural Resource Management worked with Ms. Demelo to change the sand in the filter of one of our tanks. The sand needs to be changed about once a year, especially with herbivorous turtles like the red-bellied cooter, as the greens in their tank creates waste. #BAPride #CultivatingExcellence #EnvironmentalScience #NaturalResourceManagement #Turtles
Our Veterinary Science and Laboratory Animal Technology students had a practical earlier this week! Every aspect of working in a vet clinic is important, so this practical was centered around scheduling appointments. #BAPride #CultivatingExcellence #SmallAnimal #VetScience

To prepare for the industry, Arboriculture students take weekly tree ID quizzes! By the end of senior year they will know 105 tree species in English and Latin. Our students learn to identify trees that they see outside in addition to tree samples inside. Our Arbor students take these quizzes year-round regardless of weather. When the trees are missing leaves in winter, students have to rise to the challenge using other characteristics to identify them. #BAPride #CultivatingExcellence #Arboriculture #Trees
Juniors in Agricultural Mechanics have been working to fix a Farmco feeder for our Animal Science Department. It would cost about $11,500 to buy a new feeder, but our Mechanics students have been able to fix this feeder for around $2,000! Currently, they are working on the sealing and painting process. While this is happening, some of our seniors have been working with Mr. Pion to restore a hay tedder. #BAPride #CultivatingExcellence #AgMech #Mechanics
Juniors and seniors in our Environmental Conservation Department heard our Vocational Coordinator Ms. Fullen talk about Co-Op opportunities. Co-Op is a great opportunity for our students to get real work experience in their area of interest! #BAPride #CultivatingExcellence #EnvironmentalConservation #Co-Op
Our students in Veterinary Science and Laboratory Animal Technology are continuing to work hard with weekly appointments in our vet clinic! Earlier this week our students got valuable experience with some dogs that came to us for exams. #BAPride #CultivatingExcellence #VetScience #SmallAnimals #Dogs

🐄🌟 Bristol Aggie Wins Agri-Mark’s Top Quality Milk Award! 🌟 We are thrilled to announce that Bristol County Agricultural High School has been recognized with Agri-Mark’s Top Quality Milk Award! Our Campus farm has produced the highest quality milk in Region 2, which includes 25 farms across Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New Hampshire.

This achievement reflects the incredible dedication of our students, faculty, and farm staff. Over the past 2 year post our Campus building project, we have focused on advancing our practices through a seamless transition to a @DeLaval robotic milker, conducting a thorough review of herd nutrition, and implementing best-in-class herd management strategies. These efforts have not only enhanced milk quality but also provided our students with cutting-edge, hands-on agricultural experiences. 💡 About Agri-Mark Cooperative Agri-Mark is a leading dairy farmer cooperative that represents over 700 family farms across New England and New York.
