A sure highlight for visitors at the NSA event will undoubtedly be the farm tour of the family’s beef and sheep enterprise that has grown to 500 acres, plus additional rented and common grazing.

From browsing trade stands to joining an insightful seminar with leading names from industry, there will much to see and do in addition to the farm tour.

The event itself will give visitors the chance to get involved with workshops and competitions including the south west heat of the NSA Next Generation Shepherd competition that will uncover the future regional finalist for the national final of the competition to be held next year at NSA Sheep Event.

Other competitions will include a photography competition with the theme of ‘All things Sheep’, a lamb selection contest, a fleece competition and the fun ‘gift of the gavel’ contest, run by auctioneers Kivells, that gives aspiring auctioneers a chance to take to the rostrum to demonstrate their selling skills.

There will be demonstrations taking place throughout the day providing ideas and advice to farmers on electric fencing and mobile watering solutions.

A sheepdog sale will also take place for those searching for their next best friend and workmate.
