WHOSSTOCKCHAMPION?
WHOSSTOCKCHAMPION?
THE British livestock industry needs champions. As the sector struggles to recover from the ravages of foot-and-mouth, we need people with vision, commitment and leadership skills to point the way ahead.
To help celebrate the contribution of such people, farmers weekly is again proud to back the Royal Smithfield Club Bicentenary Trophy.
The award, now in its third year, aims to recognise the man or woman who has done more than anyone else to benefit the British meat and livestock industry.
It could be a leading farmer, a prominent vet or butcher, plant breeder or animal nutritionist who has helped to perfect cost-effective rations. The winner could work in any field or business related to UK meat production, but must be alive today.
So, if you know a worthwhile candidate, why not nominate him or her for this key award?
Shortlisted candidates will be invited to the British Festival of Meat in London. The winner will receive the Royal Smithfield Club perpetual trophy of an Armada dish set with 25 golden guineas, to keep for one year. So, lets join forces to celebrate the best of British meat production. *
