🐄🌟 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 prestigious award was presented at the Agri-Mark Annual Regional Meeting, where we were honored with fellow dairy farmers from across New England. 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. As one of the largest suppliers of farm-fresh milk in the region, Agri-Mark markets over 300 million gallons annually, producing beloved products like Cabot and McCadam cheeses, butter, yogurt, and more. Their commitment to quality and innovation mirrors our dedication to excellence at Bristol Aggie, making this award even more meaningful. Thank you to Agri-Mark and our faculty and staff involved for your support. Together, we continue to make strides in agricultural education and innovation! 🐄#BristolAggiePride #AgriMark #DairyExcellence #FutureFarmers
Our Veterinary Science and Laboratory Animal Technology students had the opportunity to assist the veterinarian with a tech appointment on a dog, learning more about how work is in a veterinary clinic. #BAPride #CultivatingExcellence #VeterinaryScience #Dog
Happy Thanksgiving!
Attention Class of 2024! Today is your Yearbook Party! We are looking forward to seeing everyone. #CultivatingExcellence #BAPride
While many people will be busy preparing food for Thanksgiving, our Natural Resource Management students have been busy prepping food for the animals in our Confiscation Lab. The 31 animals currently housed in this lab were confiscated by environmental law enforcement officers. Some came from as far away as California. This work is part of a national liberation between AZA zoos and aquaria, the US Fish and Widllife Service, the Turtle Survival Alliance, and smaller institutions like Bristol Aggie. #BAPride #CultivatingExcellence #NaturalResourceManagement #Turtles #endangeredspecies #nature #wildlife @usfws @zoos_aquariums @turtlesurvival
We enjoy working with our local community partners like PACE of New Bedford to give to those who may be in need. #CultivatingExcellence #BAPride
We would like to thank our generous community for their donations to our annual food drive. It truly takes a village to raise a child, and events like this embody are core values of community best. In addition to these donations, we also prepared 20 baskets with turkeys and trimmings for families in need with gift cards to help during the holiday. #CultivatingExcellence #BAPride

Seniors in Landscape Design and Contracting worked on blowing out our campus irrigation system in preparation for winter. Students flagged sprinkler heads, made repairs to broken pipes, and cleaned out valve boxes. Sophomores in the program planted spring flowering bulbs (crocus and white narcissus) at the memorial garden in front of Keith Hall. #BAPride #CultivatingExcellence #LandscapeDesignandContracting
In addition to helping our veterinarian with exams, upperclassmen in Veterinary Science and Laboratory Animal Technology spent time practicing suturing! #BAPride #CultivatingExcellence #VeterinaryScience
