Beltex Sheep Society moves to Pedigree Livestock Services

Pedigree Livestock Services (PLS) is delighted to announce its appointment as Secretary to the Brown Swiss Cattle Society (UK), providing dedicated administrative and member support for the Society and its breeders.

The new partnership will give Brown Swiss breeders a clear, friendly and dependable point of contact for membership, registration and general enquiries, while helping the Society build on the enthusiasm and commitment already shown by its members across the UK.

Brown Swiss cattle are admired for their longevity, soundness, calm nature and ability to produce high-quality milk. The Society plays an important role in bringing breeders together, maintaining the Herdbook, promoting the breed and encouraging the continued development of Brown Swiss cattle within the UK dairy industry.

PLS will work closely with the Society’s elected Council, volunteers and members to ensure that enquiries are handled promptly and that breeders feel well supported. The role will include membership administration, communications, Council and committee support, liaison with Holstein UK, financial administration and assistance with the Society’s events, open days and show activity.

Andy Ryder of Pedigree Livestock Services said“We are absolutely delighted to be working with the Brown Swiss Cattle Society (UK) and its members. Brown Swiss breeders are passionate about their cattle and the qualities the breed brings to modern dairy farming, and we are looking forward to helping the Society build on that momentum.

“Our aim is to make things straightforward and accessible for breeders; whether someone is an established herd owner, is interested in joining the Society or is considering Brown Swiss for the first time. We want members to know there is always someone at the end of the phone or email who can help, provide guidance or make sure their enquiry reaches the right person.

“The Society has a strong base of committed breeders and volunteers. By providing reliable office support behind the scenes, we hope to give the Council more capacity to focus on supporting members, promoting the breed and creating new opportunities for Brown Swiss cattle across the UK.”

John Coulter, Brown Swiss Cattle Society (UK) Chairman said “We are very pleased to welcome Pedigree Livestock Services as the Society’s new secretary and administrative support. The Council is made up of volunteers who give their time to the breed, and this appointment provides a strong foundation for the Society’s day-to-day work.

“Having a dedicated office function will help us respond consistently to members and prospective members, maintain effective communication and continue to promote Brown Swiss cattle at events and within the wider dairy industry. We look forward to working closely with Andy and the PLS team.”

The Brown Swiss Cattle Society (UK) will continue to be led by its elected Council, with PLS working alongside the Council to support the Society’s members, safeguard its Herdbook and encourage a positive future for Brown Swiss cattle in the UK.
