The Dumfries and Galloway Dairy Women Network was launched at the NFU Scotland stand at the Stewartry Show last week. The group holds its first official meeting on Tuesday 26 September at the Laurie Arms, Haugh Of Urr, at 7pm. It is open to all women involved in the dairy industry, from farmers’ wives, partners, daughters and vets to feed nutritionists, dairywomen and milk recorders.

It aims to share wisdom, produce ideas, inspire and support women in dairy.

As well as meetings, it will also be hosting events such as field days and will hear from industry speakers.
