Top innovation award


ROWLAND FRESH, the milk pro­ duced by a collective of Ribble Valley dairy farms, has won a major market­ ing award. Now sold in many Booths and Asda


stores and by independent retailers, Bowland Fresh won the award for Marketing Innovation at the annual Milk Development Council (MDC) Awards. I t was presented to Connect Plus


Ltd, the Gisburn-based organisation that created and markets the Bowland Fresh brand of locally-produced milk. Brian Peacock, chairman of the


MDC and its judging panel, explained: “Founded by a small group of farmers with the aim of developing a secure market. Connect Plus Ltd approached


More


leading regional retailer Booths and created ‘Bowland Fresh Milk’ to meet the expectations of the retailer, the demands of the consumer and the needs of the producer.” Since then, Bowland Fresh Milk has


been listed in Asda Lancashire stores. I t is expected to announce exciting


new contracts for its milk very shortly, as well as an expansion in the number of farmers on the scheme. Connect Plus'has also started hew


product development to create yogurts and creme fraiche using its milk. The winner in each category of the


MDC Awards received a Dartington Crystal trophy and a cash prize to sup­ port continued product and business development.

that we are going all out to build on the impact of the event this year.

cashire right on the doorstep.” The trials will see 150 of the best-working sheep dogs in England take to the field with their handlers. The top 15 will then go through to represent their country against opposition from Ire­ land, Scotland and Wales at the milestone


. Centenary International Trials near Kelso in September. As well as representing a stem test pur­


posely designed to promote the overall improvement of the working sheep dog, the English National Trials are also gaining increasing prominence in the public eye. Fully recognising this growth in popularity, organisers are arranging support events, including an inaugural country fair promot­ ing regional foods and rural crafts. The organisers also have the full support


of newly-elected president of the Interna­ tional Sheep Dog Society, Thomas Langton, of Lee End Farm, Quemmore, Lancaster. Like other members of his family, Mr Long- ton is a legend in the working sheep dogs world, having twice won the English Nation­ al Trials in 1985 and 1992 - the last time they were held a t Underley Estate - and the International Trials in 1986. While organisers are arranging a number


of fund-raising events in the countdown to the trials, opportunities remain for event sponsorship, trials field displays, trade stands and programme advertising. Interested par­ ties should contact either treasurer Christine Clarkson on 01756 793371 or secretary Carol Palmer on 01200 445293. The English National Trials also have a website (www.englishnational.co.uk).


Animal Academy. Their mother, Katie, arrived at the Animal Academy in August last year with her two kids. Poppy and Rosie. Little did staff know that she was also expecting triplets! Staff noticed that she was becoming rounder and


a vet confirmed th a t she was indeed pregnant. Goats only usually have two kids so the birth of the third was unexpected and quite rare. The third goat was smaller than the other two


and staff at the Animal Academy were worried that she would not last the night. Fortunately, she pulled through and is now doing fine along with her mother and sisters. The three new arrivals have been named after


flowers, like their older sisters and Myerscough College students had the opportunity to choose their names. If you are an animal lover Myerscough College


offers a range of full and part-time courses where you can learn everything from basic animal care through to specialised technical knowledge to help you in careers such as veterinary nursing, animal rescue or even working in a zoo. For youngsters, the Animal Academy’s Pet Club


is a chance for children to play with different ani­ mals and learn more about handling and feeding


them. The Pet Club runs on the first Sunday of every month from 12-30 p.m. to 4-30 p.m. for chil­ dren aged five to 12 years old. Pictured are students Nicola Entwistle and Toni


Howarth with Myerscough College Animal Stud­ ies Instructor Caroline Bowden and the three kids and their mother, (s)


Unsung countryside heroes are sought A SEARCH is under way to find the unsung heroes of
