Longhorn Ambassador's Carreg Award launched!

An exciting new award is being launched for 2020 to recognise and reward a member promoting the Longhorn breed whether it be in classes not confined to Longhorn cattle, or by supplying cattle to exhibitions or events which advertise the breed, or those working hard in the promotion of Longhorn beef - ambassadors of the breed whose story may not be being heard when so much publicity is concentrated around Longhorn-specific showring results.

This award isn't for the member who has won every trophy going in the show ring; it's for the member who has promoted the breed in their own way – an unsung hero if you will.  The Council is open to all suggestions so anything goes!

Members should contact the Secretary to nominate a member, or the member can nominate themselves.  A few words and photos and hopefully website and social media links describing what this member has done recently to deserve being called a Longhorn Ambassador should be sent in to the office by 31 August 2020.

All the nominations will then go to the Council meeting in September and a shortlist of three will be selected.  The three finalists and then the overall winner will be announced at the AGM in October.

The Society would like to thank Bernard Llewellyn of the Carreg herd for providing a trophy for this new award and Council are looking forward to seeing all the nominations that come in.
