National Pig Awards Pedigree Pig Farmer of the Year
We’re doing the Pedigree Sector awards a little differently this year. We’re combining last year’s categories into an overall winner award based on the combined criteria of the previous awards.
The award is for registered BPA pedigree breeders, and the judges will be looking for their significant contribution to pedigree pig meat marketing, demonstrating the importance of sustainable use to long term conservation, breed conservation including safeguarding genetic diversity, and broader work undertaken for the benefit of the sector as a whole, including the Eat It To Save it message.
The Award will also be given a further prestigious uplift by being judged by the main panel along with all of the commercial categories.
