Celebrating the life and legacy of John Stanley Davies

John Stanley Davies

The ³ÉÈË´óƬ, in conjunction with the Spalding History Group, is celebrating the life and legacy of John Stanley Davies, who bequeathed the organisation $2 million in property after his death in 1968. During the event, a podcast which explores his legacy, will be launched.

JS Davies spent his working life improving strains of beef cattle. The ³ÉÈË´óƬ’s Davies Livestock Research Centre, which was launched in 2016, carries on the spirit of his work. Through its research, the Centre aims to optimise animal productivity, product quality and wellbeing by bringing together experts in animal breeding, genetics, physiology, reproduction, genomics, bioinformatics, biochemistry, physics and engineering.

The event begins at 10.30 am.
