Lee-Anne Oliver, veterinary surgeon and co-founder of Ruminant Revival, has been accepted onto the National Sheep Association’s Register of Sheep Advisers – known as RoSA.

RoSA is a joint initiative between the National Sheep Association (NSA) and BASIS, and is the first professional register of its kind for the grazed livestock sector. It brings together vets, nutritionists, farm consultants and other specialists under a shared framework, giving sheep farmers a reliable way to find advisers with the right qualifications and a commitment to keeping them up to date through continuing professional development.

As the role of farm advice grows within future agricultural support schemes, being able to identify and verify the quality of that advice matters more than ever. RoSA provides a practical mechanism for that, giving farmers the confidence that the person they are working with meets a recognised standard.

“I’m really proud to be on the RoSA register – it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while. Sheep farming is such a specialised area and farmers deserve to know that the person advising them has the credentials and the commitment to back it up. I’m looking forward to being part of raising the standard of advice across the livestock sector.”

As a RoSA member, Lee-Anne is committed to ensuring the advice she provides stays current as the industry evolves. For sheep farmers looking for a specialist they can trust, Lee-Anne is listed on the searchable directory at sheepadvisers.co.uk.
