NSA Chief Executive Phil Stocker says: “NSA is proud to have built a reputation for providing sheep farmers with the opportunity to win state of the art prizes that enhance modern sheep farming enterprises. From livestock trailers to advanced handling equipment, NSA alongside its industry supporters, have aided day to day shepherding tasks for many, and now we are excited to do this again in 2026.

“We are delighted to be working with Yamaha Motor UK this year to offer a prize that is both highly practical and genuinely useful to sheep farmers and thank all at Yamaha for offering this generous prize.”

Yamaha Motor UK has a long-standing relationship with the agricultural sector and is widely recognised for producing robust, reliable machinery suited to demanding farm environments.

The Kodiak 450 ATV is described as having easy to use technology, with outstanding durability and reliability needed to take on the toughest jobs in extreme terrain. With this model, the industry-leading On Command drive system allows you to switch seamlessly between 2WD and 4WD at the push of a button - and the Ultramatic automatic transmission makes every task more relaxing and enjoyable.

Mr Stocker continues: “For sheep farmers across the UK, having reliable machinery that can cope with long days and challenging ground is essential. A vehicle like this can make a real difference to daily flock management.”

Dan Palmer, Manager RVGC at Yamaha UK, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership and the prize: "NSA is an important voice and an incredibly key partner within the UK farming community, and we are thrilled to be collaborating with them on this competition.
