As part of its effort to support cattle producers in the far north the NWCPA runs a cattle advisory service, which we call our Fieldsmen Network. We have a team of experienced cattle professionals who are able to offer help and advice to people looking to make a start with cattle, or to established crofters and farmers looking for new ideas or ways to improve the returns on there herd. This service is free to NWCPA members, and as an introduction to the Association non members are offered a free first consultation. You don’t have to own cattle to use this service, if you are considering starting with a cattle then the Fieldsmen will be happy to talk you through the options open to you and give you advice on support schemes.
