GALLOWAY Cattle Society has announced the appointment of a Dumfriesshire man as their junior vice chairperson.
Taking on the role is Andrew Hunter Blair, right, of Nether Cleugh Galloways near Castle Douglas.
He actively supports the family’s herd of pure Galloways and a flock of crossbred ewes, while also managing his own successful flock of Ryeland sheep. In 2015, Andrew established his own Galloway herd under the Carsfad prefix, further demonstrating his commitment to the breed’s future.
Since 2010, Andrew has worked as an auctioneer with Craig Wilson Ltd in Ayr and Newton Stewart, having studied livestock auctioneering at Harper Adams University College.
The society said: “Andrew is a committed advocate for the breed’s future, especially encouraging younger generations to engage with Galloway cattle.”
