Sean Jeffreys (26) Carmarthenshire
As one of the new entrants to farming joining the programme this year, Sean impressed the panel with his achievements in the sector so far. Having previously worked in industry as part of the Red Meat Development programme with Welsh levy board HCC, Sean is now a partner in a share farm agreement running 600 Llandovery White Face hill ewes and a further 200 ewe lambs. He also rears calves on contract destined to produce Wagyu beef. Sean has already completed several development schemes but was passionate to join the NSA programme as he believes it will assist him with his sheep farming knowledge and experience that no other similar scheme can. He says: “Becoming an NSA Next Generation Ambassador is great opportunity. I believe it will nurture, inspire and encourage us as a group of young sheep farmers creating leaders who will step up and take the reins in the future.”
