NSA Sheep Event is now just a matter of days away!

As the flagship event of the NSA, it promises to be a standout day for everyone involved in the sheep sector, bringing together farmers, breeders, industry experts, trade exhibitors and rural businesses for a packed programme of learning, innovation and inspiration.

From the moment gates open, the day will be packed with opportunities to learn, discuss and take part.

Early visitors can start with NSA Breakfast Club Live at 9am, including a conversation with Defra Farming Minister Stephen Morgan MP, Phil Stocker and NSA Chairman Pete Delbridge, followed by debate on policy, promises and the future of farming with a panel from Farmers Weekly, Farmers Guardian, consultancy and Daera.

The seminar programme will tackle some of the biggest questions facing the sheep sector.

Competitions will also add excitement, with the national final of the  Next Generation Shepherd competition, National Young Stars competition, fleece competition and Tornado fencing competition all showcasing skill, enthusiasm and talent from across the industry.
