Our Members Feedback

Graham Powell, Brecon

I joined the NSA as the association supports each individual sheep farmer like myself and the sheep industry as a whole.
Matthew Tomkins, Cumbria

We joined NSA as we believe it is one of the farming organisations that is having a real positive impact on farming. We have been impressed by how forward thinking and progressive it is.
Joe Black, Shropshire

I joined the NSA as it helps to pay the wages of those working for the NSA, so that they can continue to promote and enhance the sheep industry in Great Britain. Without associations such as the NSA, we'd be standing alone in a world wide market. The information contained within the newsletters and magazine are a valuable way of increasing knowledge that can be implemented in the field. The NSA's focus on young generation sheep farmers is also ensuring that Great Britain has a secure industry going forward that continues too be a world leader.
Jayne Harkness-Bones, Northern Ireland

I joined the NSA to be part of a collective of like minded folk that, like me, are all mad about sheep.
Lucy Beattie, Scotland

I joined NSA having had some good conversations with several NSA Scottish Region officeholders who explained to me how NSA can support youngsters and also upland livestock production, two things close to my heart. With ongoing change for our sector too, strength is in numbers and the more sheep folk who can get together and talk about sheep, and lobby those in positions of power, the better.
Joshua Bevan, Gloucester

I joined the NSA after seeing how hard the NSA is working to support and speak out on behalf of the sheep industry. Especially regarding government and policy issues affecting sheep farmers.
