CATTLE<br />
DAIRY CATTLE<br />
IMPORTANT NOTE : Dairy Cattle are being judged on Friday 13th May 2011.<br />
METHOD OF ACCEPTING ENTRIES<br />
Due to the heavy demand for stalling accommodation, exhibitors will be limited to booking a<br />
maximum number of 10 stalls for dairy cattle. Should exhibitors also have entries in the beef<br />
section, the overall maximum will still be 10 stalls (dairy and beef). It is not permissible for<br />
exhibitors to transfer stalls which they had originally booked, but no longer require, to another<br />
exhibitor.<br />
Exhibitors should note that they are not permitted to make entries from the same herd under<br />
different names or joint names.<br />
Exhibitors must book the number of stalls which they wish to use during the <strong>Show</strong> and such<br />
stall reservations and Stalling Fee (non-refundable) must be received by Friday 18th March. If<br />
at this date more stalls are booked than the available capacity, exhibitors will be advised of any<br />
necessary reduction in stalls and only in such instances will a refund be made of stalling fees.<br />
Immediately following the above closing date, entry forms will be sent to exhibitors for completion<br />
of details of animals to be entered and these are to be returned, together with the appropriate<br />
entry fees no later than Tuesday, 12th April.<br />
At the final closing date exhibitors may enter more animals than the number of stalls allocated but<br />
may only bring to the <strong>Show</strong> the number of animals equivalent to the number of stalls allocated.<br />
It is hoped that this method of entry will give maximum flexibility to exhibitors in selecting Dairy<br />
Cattle to be exhibited at the <strong>Show</strong>.<br />
IMPORTANT NOTICES<br />
All Cattle entered for this <strong>Show</strong> must be from Officially Brucellosis and Tuberculosis Free Herds,<br />
and each animal must be accompanied by the official Brucellosis Movement Permit, issued by the<br />
Department of Agriculture & Rural Development and all cattle from Great Britain or the Republic of<br />
Ireland must comply with any import regulation in force.<br />
MILK RECORDS in respect of Classes 585 and 602 must be authenticated by the body or<br />
organisation which supervised the recordings and the Certificates must accompany the Entry<br />
Form.<br />
To be fair to each breed, penning is calculated using a three year average. If the number of pens<br />
booked per breed exceeds this amount the Society has the right to cut pens per exhibitor.<br />
