We are in the process of producing a bilingual brochure advertising the benefits of Highland beef.  We propose to include a list of meat producers so that potential customers can look at the list to find their nearest producer, ring or email them, and if it's available, buy some meat ....it makes sense for meat producers to be listed on this site as well, so.......

If you would like to be included, in the brochure and/or on the site page, please send your contact details (Fold name, name, email address and/or phone number, address) to Liz McCombe. You can do this via the contact us page on this site, but please do so as soon as possible: your committee want to distribute the brochure at the Smallholders Show in May. 

As you are aware, last year the Highland Cattle Society had a marquee at the Royal Welsh Show in July.  It faced the cattle show ring and was ideally positioned to capture the passerby on their way to or from the cattle lines.  It was very well attended, with much interest shown by commercial farmers, old and young, in the viability and economic value of keeping Highlanders, both as purebreds and as crosses with almost any other breed.  Sponsors' folders containing information and photographs of their cattle were extremely popular with members of the public as well.

The Highland Cattle Society proposes to have a stand at this year's show, and HCCW have been asked to sponsor it again.  Upon sponsorship of £100, a wall mounted advertisement (up to A3 size) for your fold, together with a folder with photos and information about your cattle and business cards will be displayed on the stand.  Two free entry tickets will be available, and your name will be included in the list of sponsors.

Sponsorship of £50 enables you to design a wall mounted advert (up to A3 size) for your fold or submit a folder for display on the stand. Your name will appear on the list of sponsors.

A donation of £30 will enable you to design your A4 size fold advert for display on the stand, with your name on the list of sponsors. 

Sponsorship of £20 will include you on the list of sponsors on display in the marquee.

Last year's sponsorship was very successful, and people were extremely interested to see where and how Highland cattle are kept in Wales.  You can tell them as much and as often as you like: nothing cements it in people's minds as quickly as a photograph of the beasts out on the hill in all weathers!

We need a rota of members to help Hazel (wo)man the stand, ideally with at least two people for each half day of the four days, so that there is a chance for volunteers to look round the Show during their free morning or afternoon.  Volunteers will receive free entrance and an opportunity to talk about their folds.  So, if you are intending to go to Builth in July, please consider giving some time to the Highland Cattle stand in return for free entrance and no doubt a sit down and a drink!
