The National Sheep Association (NSA) is excited to announce the launch of its latest prize giveaway offering the nation's sheep farmers the opportunity to win throughout 2025 with a fantastic prize of a Lanati Astron cord free shearing handpiece to be given away each month this year.

The amazing prizes of the cord-free handpiece kits, each worth more than £450, are kindly provided by Rurtec Ltd.

The prize draw is open to any UK sheep farmer over the age of 16. Both NSA members and non-members can enter, but entries are limited to one per person/email address. One lucky winner per month will benefit from the prize, a quality cordless product that will no doubt ease all shearing tasks.

Rurtec began its journey in the animal husbandry field in 2001 and has been continuously enhancing the functionality and benefits of its expanding product range ever since. Product development is carried out in New Zealand, in collaboration with partners from around the world. From modest beginnings, Rurtec has established a strong reputation as a consistent and reliable supplier of premium products to the animal industry.

Entries for the NSA prize draw will be taken throughout 2025 with a winner announced at the end of each month. Entries can be made online at www.nationalsheep.org.uk/draw and in person at NSA events this year that include the return of several popular NSA events this summer including NSA Welsh Sheep, NSA Highland Sheep, NSA North Sheep, NSA Sheep South West and NSA Northern Ireland.

NSA Chief Executive Phil Stocker says: "NSA is delighted to be able to offer a brilliant prize each month of 2025 and is sincerely grateful to Rurtec Ltd for making this giveaway possible. The prize of a cordfree handpiece will no doubt be of use to any sheep farmer providing convenience for many shepherding shearing tasks."

The 2025 prize daw follows a collaboration between NSA and Nugent Engineering Ltd last year that will soon see the amazing prize of a new livestock trailer worth more than £9,500 presented to the very lucky winner in the coming weeks. News of this exciting win will be shared via NSA communications.

Fantastic prize draws are just one of the benefits NSA offers its members and other members of the UK's sheep farming community. NSA strives to act as a voice for the sector, therefore, every membership counts, strengthening NSA's mandate to speak on behalf of the industry.
