NSA North Sheep 2011, the National Sheep Association northern region’s biennial one day event will be staged on Wednesday 8 June 2011 at West Nubbock Farm, Hexham, Northumberland by kind permission of Lewis and Helen Forster.

The 17th technical event of its kind, NSA North Sheep 2011 will be building on its previous success with a crowd of more than 6,000 and 250 trade stands.

“2010 has witnessed sheepmeat prices returning for the first time in many years to a level which is enabling farmers to develop a profitable business,” says NSA North Sheep chairman, Geoff Lawn.

“This event will provide all producers with technical, management and financial advice to help them to continue to drive their businesses forward to achieve sustainability, by producing quality sheep, a quality countryside and an environment which the whole nation can enjoy.”
