THE NATIONAL Sheep Association has teamed up with IAE to give away four lamb weigh crates as part of its 2017 membership recruitment prize draw.

Everyone who signs up to become an NSA member in 2017 will automatically be entered into the draw, while existing members can earn unlimited entries by recommending people to join the organisation.

NSA chief executive Phil Stocker said: “NSA is delighted to be able to offer these fantastic prizes, with much thanks owed to IAE for its generosity. With no shortage of industry reminders around the importance of hitting target specifications when selecting lambs for slaughter, it is kit like this that can help producers be more vigilant at every opportunity.

“We hope the offer of these quality products will give sheep farmers even more of reason to become an NSA member, each and every one of which helps to give us a stronger and more effective voice in representing views and interests of sheep farmers in all corners of the country.”

The IAE weigh crates each come with front and rear gates, wheels and handles, as well as lugs to allow the unit to be incorporated within a handling system if required. The 100kg mechanical weigh head comes as standard, with winners having the option to upgrade to an electronic weigh system at their own cost if they wish.

Four prize draws will be held every other month during the year from April 2017. After the winner is picked for each draw, all non-winning entries will automatically roll over to the next draw. The closing date for entries is November 2, 2017.
