Brothers made Associates at the same time
Livestock News | 12 March, 2008
BROTHERS Michael and Rowland George have achieved the unusual distinction of both being made Associates of the Royal Agricultural Societies at the same time.
They have been recognised for their work in improving and maximising the potential of the black-and-white dairy cow, in particular their highly-bred pedigree Brynhyfryd Holsteins.
They farm 1,000 acres at Sealyham Farm, Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire and the herd has been developed into two units of 300 cows each.
The cows are among the highest classified in the breed, being visited by producers and agricultural students from across the UK.
The brothers have also encouraged and trained many YFC teams for stockjudging competitions and have passed to others their knowledge and skills of cattle showmanship.
They are both on Holstein UK’s panel of judges.
