FUW young member scoops top cattle award
Carmarthenshire young farmer Aled Walters has scooped a top award for his proficiency at a variety of skills consisting of stock judging and showmanship.
Aled was presented with the Ayrshire Cattle Society’s prestigious Hugh Stevenson Memorial Award during this year’s Royal Welsh Show.
The trophy is awarded annually to the young member who has scored the most points in all the society’s competitions and who has also been judged to have made a major contribution to its young members movement throughout the year.
Ayrshire Cattle Society breed secretary John Cochrane said: "Aled gained the highest points for a variety of skills that he displayed during competitions held at the society’s young members gathering in April.
"He gained these points by being proficient at a variety of skills consisting of stock judging, reason giving, cattle dressing, showmanship and a written reasoned explanation of suggested sire matings for two cows from a list of six proven bulls."
Aled, son of FUW vice president Brian Walters, farms with his parents and brother at Clynmelyn, Ffynnonddrain, near Carmarthen, a 500-acre farm carrying a dairy herd of 200 cows made up of two thirds Holstein and one third Ayrshire.
