SUMMARY:NSA Sheep Northern Ireland 2023
DESCRIPTION:NSA Sheep Northern Ireland 2023\nDate: 4th July 2023 \nTime: TBC \nLocation: Tynan Estate\, Co Armagh \nFollowing the disappointing postponement from 2021 due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic NSA Sheep Northern Ireland will next take place on the 4th July 2023 at Tynan Estate\, Co Armagh by kind permission of Kate Kingan and Peter Mant. \nThe 2023 event hopes to follow on from the event in 2019 which saw a number of successful attractions and competitions return as well as useful seminars and workshops providing up to date information on the UK sheep sector as well as hands on practical advice. \nKate and Peter have taken the estate back into farming themselves and have been keen to improve and enhance the farming element of the estate. They have become part of The NI Sheep Programme described below. \n \nNorthern Ireland Sheep Programme: \nThe Northern Ireland Sheep Programme was launched in May 2019 at Balmoral Show. The programme is a joint collaboration between CAFRE\, Dunbia and the Irish Farmers Journal. The aim of the three-year programme is to increase the profitability of participating farmers through technological transfer and the adoption of the latest research advancements and management practices. \nThere are 9 participating farmers and the farms deliver a good geographical spread in sheep strongholds. \nThe farms also reflect the diverse nature of the sheep sector\, with significant variation in flock size\, systems operated\, land type and breed profile. \nThe programme will be very much applicable to farmers in Northern Ireland\, Ireland and across Britain. Those interested will be able to follow developments and learn about each farm through the Irish Farmers Journal media platforms\, with coverage ramping up in the coming weeks. CAFRE and Dunbia events will also provide updates and longer term there will be an opportunity for farm visits.

SUMMARY:NSA Sheep 2022
DESCRIPTION:NSA looks forward to 2022 NSA Sheep Event\n27th July 2021 \nWith exactly one year until the return of the National Sheep Association (NSA)’s flagship event NSA Sheep 2022\, plans are beginning to take shape to ensure visitors to the popular sheep farming show can look forward to an informative and enjoyable day out. \nWith Covid-19 causing the sad cancellation of the 2020 event\, a year that would have celebrated 40 years of the popular event being held at the Three Counties Showground\, Worcestershire\, NSA Sheep 2022 will provide the first opportunity in four years for visitors to visit the business to business event. \nTaking place on Wednesday 27th July 2022 the show will include a vast array of sheep farming trade stands from commercial companies\, sheep breed societies and industry groups as well as offering attendees the chance to join informative seminars\, workshops and demonstrations throughout the day. Competitions such as the finals of the NSA Next Generation shepherds competition\, fencing and fleece competitions will go ahead with the popular sheepdog sale also returning. \nProviding an opportunity to meet with others socially the evening before the main NSA event\, the NSA Sheep Event dinner will also return next year and is open to both commercial companies and individuals interested in enjoying the evening. \nNSA Chief Executive Phil Stocker comments: “All involved with NSA events and in particular the biennial national NSA Sheep Event were bitterly disappointed to not be able to welcome visitors last year\, and indeed this year also\, as Covid restrictions have meant the cancellation of further events. \n“But as plans for next year begin\, we are excited by the prospect of the opportunity to meet face to face with sheep farmers and industry representatives from across the sector. NSA is confident that its events will return safely and successfully providing the UK’s sheep farmers with the chance to enjoy a worthwhile day out.” \nExhibitors interested in attending NSA Sheep Event will soon be able to confirm their trade stand space as bookings are expected to open very soon. \nFor more information\, please visit www.sheepevent.org.uk
