We’re thrilled to announce that this year’s bursary winner is Rhian Masson, a Veterinary Bioscience student at Harper Adams University with a strong passion for genetics and breeding.
Rhian recently completed a placement with Cogent Breeding, which sparked her interest in the genetic side of the livestock industry. She shared that the experience helped her realise how exciting this field is – and that she could see herself working for a company like Cogent in the future!
Raised on a farm, Rhian has gained a wide range of transferable skills that have helped shape her journey so far. In her application, she wrote:
“This has also given me an appreciation for the great work farmers do for everyone else and the greater good of the population.”
Her passion for genetics and her drive to deepen her knowledge in the breeding sector really stood out to us. As a company that shares this enthusiasm – through our farmer-focused breeding schemes like Superior Sires and Momentum – choosing Rhian was a no-brainer!
We hope the bursary supports Rhian in furthering her education and ambition, and we can’t wait to see where her journey in the agricultural genetics industry takes her. All the best Rhian and Good luck in the future!
