THREE young women who share an exceptional enthusiasm for the livestock industry have been selected as finalists in an initiative launched as part of the celebrations for Scotland’s Year of Young People.
Sam Haining from Dumfriesshire, Kerry Annal from Orkney, and Gemma Wark from Angus, are the finalists in the one-off Young Livestock Ambassador award, run by Quality Meat Scotland, SRUC (Scotland’s Rural College) and the Royal Highland Agricultural Society of Scotland.
The overall winner – who will be announced at the Royal Highland Show – will be announced by Fergus Ewing, cabinet Secretary for rural economy and connectivity, and will receive a lifetime membership of RHASS, including free entry to the Royal Highland Show.
