Nugent Engineering Ltd director, Damien Nugent, said: "We are pleased to participate in NSA's prize giveaway for 2024.

"Nugent Livestock trailers have been created with the safety and welfare of both animal and operative at the core of the design brief, and so this new partnership with the NSA complements our commitment to the sheep sector."

Nugent Engineering Ltd hails from an agricultural family background.

Initially designed to withstand the vigour of Ireland's livestock and rugged terrain, the Nugent Livestock range is engineered and hand built to last, the NSA said.

The trade association for UK sheep farmers said any sheep farmer will appreciate the attention to detail and be "thrilled to win such a fantastic prize".
