The achievements of two young members have been recognised with the presentation for the first time of the Young Shepherd trophies. These two trophies were commissioned last year following the generous donation of some silver Southdown Sheep Society medals by the Chichester branch of NFU. These medals were incorporated into hardwood stands of oak and walnut, sourced locally in Sussex.
The Senior (Walnut) Trophy is awarded to Charlie Tester (below left), from Barrow Upon Soar, Leicestershire, and the Junior (Oak) Trophy to Freddy Bethley (below right), from Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. Since Covid-19 restrictions prevented a face-to –face presentation of the trophies, these were posted out to the winners and they subsequently sent in an image proudly holding their trophies. Many congratulations to our winners!
