Two teenagers named overall winners of this year’s ABP Angus Youth Challenge say the competition has inspired them to start working on farms part-time, despite neither living on one.
Emma Turner and Samantha Todd, who are both pupils at the Wallace High School, Lisburn, won £1,000 for their school following a two-year competitive process that finished in finals against teams from three other schools.
Angus Youth Challenge
The Angus Youth Challenge is unique in that it offers teenagers the chance to rear a mini-herd of Angus cross calves through to beef, selling them to ABP for a profit and completing detailed farm-to-fork research assignments. 17-year-old Emma and Samantha’s project was on ‘The roles and opportunities for women in agriculture’.
