NSA voucher giveaway 2016: Ed Bott, Worcestershire
25th May 2016
Living only a stone’s away from NSA Head Office, there was no excuse for Ed Bott not to join the association! From his base at Malvern, Worcestershire, he says he will be putting his £200 FecpakG2 voucher towards improving faecal egg counting and hopefully efficiencies within the flock long term.
Having teamed up with FecpakG2, Cox Agri/Ritchey and JG Animal Health to giveaway three £200 vouchers every other month throughout 2016, Michael is one of three winners in the third prize draw of the year. New NSA members will be automatically entered into the giveaway when they sign up, as well as existing members who recommend a friend or neighbour to join someone to join NSA.
Mr Bott describes the sheep enterprise: “The flock is made up predominately of North Country Mules, around 350 ewes, which are put to the Suffolk, Suftex or Charollais tup. We’ve recently finished another busy lambing season for the year, lambing everything inside during most of March. I’ll market the main of prime lambs liveweight and buy in replacements. Alongside the sheep enterprise, we also make and sell around 500 acres of hay and 2,000 straw bales annually.”
