British Society of Animal Science THE British Society of Animal Science have collaborated with the British Cattle Breeders Club to re-launch the Sir John Hammond Award, which goes to those who have made significant contribution through research, teaching, knowledge exchange, breeding, farming, industry, or affiliated professions. Highly selective, the Sir John Hammond Award is based solely on nominations, with nominated candidates required to be of high merit. Self-nominations are not considered, and any nomination must be supported by two members of BSAS or the BCBC. This will be the society’s first ever joint award with the BCBC, which Sir John Hammond founded in 1946. The club aims to improve the breeding of livestock, by promoting knowledge through collecting, collating, and distributing available information and data of practical and scientific interest, to breeders of cattle at home and overseas.
