All exhibitors must ensure that they comply fully with the current legislation issued by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs regarding the above Transport Regulation which came into force in January 2007 and are able to provide the appropriate documentation at the Show to the relevant governing authority. For the purposes of this article, mammals shall not be considered fit for transport if they (a) are unfit animals (see DEFRA website Annex 1 Chapter 1 of Council Regulation 1/2005). (b) are pregnant female animals that have reached the latest stage of gestation (within 10% of the estimated time of the gestation before birth) and for a period of one week after giving birth. (c) are very young animals except if the journey is less than 100 km, eg calves of less than 10 days of age, pigs less than 3 weeks of age and lambs of less than one week. (d) calves of less than 14 days of age on journeys exceeding 8 hours will not be permitted. The LINCOLNSHIRE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY will present an award to the STOCK ATTENDANT responsible for the preparation and exhibition of the animal judged Breed Supreme Champion in the Cattle, Sheep, and Pig sections. These will be presented at 6.30 pm on Wednesday 21st June in the Showmans Marquee. 6 CATTLE The general conditions and regulations of the Show also apply to this section. Reminder for ALL CATTLE Exhibitors from Trading Standards. CATTLE must be tagged in accordance with the Cattle Identification Regulations 1998.

  • 1 a Lleyn Sweep for Local Sheep? Breed Societies and the Geographies of Welsh Livestock
    A Lleyn Sweep for Local Sheep? Breed Societies and the Geographies of Welsh Livestock Richard Yarwood* and Nick Evans+ * School of Geography, University of Plymouth, Drake Circus, Plymouth, PL4 8AA. [email protected] 01752 233083 + Centre for Rural Research Department of Applied Sciences, Geography and Archaeology, University College Worcester, Henwick Grove, Worcester, WR2 6AJ. 01905 855197 [email protected] Abstract This paper uses Bourdieu’s (1977) concept of habitus to examine human-animal relationships within capitalist agricultural systems. The first part of the paper examines how Bourdieu’s ideas have been used by academics to provide insights into the ways that livestock affect and are affected by farming practice. The second part builds on these conceptual, empirical and policy insights by examining some of the national and international social networks that contribute to human-animal relationships in capitalistic farming. It focuses on a case study of Welsh livestock and, in particular, the historic and contemporary roles that breed societies play in the imagination of farm animals and the creation of capitals in agriculture. 1 A Lleyn Sweep for Local Sheep? Breed Societies and the Geographies of Welsh Livestock ‘The mountain sheep are sweeter, But the valley sheep are fatter; And so we deemed it meeter To take away the latter.’ „The War-Song of the Dinas Vawr‟ Thomas Love Peacock (1829) Introduction The relationships between animals, locality and society have come under increased scrutiny by geographers (Philo, 1995; Wolch and Emel, 1995; Wolch, 1998; Philo and Wilbert, 2000). An emerging body of literature is critically reappraising the place of animals within capitalist agricultural systems, reflecting the three main trajectories of animal geography (Whatmore, 2000).

The identification of selection footprints across domesticated genomes can contribute to uncover the genetic basis of phenotypic diversity. Methodology/Main Findings: Genome wide footprints of pig domestication and selection were identified using massive parallel sequencing of pooled reduced representation libraries (RRL) representing ,2% of the genome from wild boar and four domestic pig breeds (Large White, Landrace, Duroc and Pietrain) which have been under strong selection for muscle development, growth, behavior and coat color. Using specifically developed statistical methods that account for DNA pooling, low mean sequencing depth, and sequencing errors, we provide genome-wide estimates of nucleotide diversity and genetic differentiation in pig. Widespread signals suggestive of positive and balancing selection were found and the strongest signals were observed in Pietrain, one of the breeds most intensively selected for muscle development. Most signals were population-specific but affected genomic regions which harbored genes for common biological categories including coat color, brain development, muscle development, growth, metabolism, olfaction and immunity.

  • An Introduction to Keeping Pigs
    AN CALU FACTSHEET INTRODUCTION June 2010 Ref:040902 TO PIG KEEPING INTRODUCTION UK commercial pig production is based on large herds with around 80% kept in herds of over 1,000 head. The UK breeding herd has contracted over the years to around 300,000 sows. In Wales, pig meat production has never been a major agricultural output and there are relatively few specialist herds in Wales compared to the rest of the UK. In the 10 years up to 2009, the recorded number of breeding sows In Wales dropped from 10,800 to 3,700. The Welsh pig herd of around 20,000 pigs now represents around 0.5% of the UK pig population. There is, however, a resurgence of interest in keeping pigs not only from small-holders and part time farmers but also to fill the usually profitable niche markets demanding specialist pig meat products from older and rare breeds reared less intensively. LEGISLATION Whether you wish to keep a commercial herd or even one pig as a pet you still need to be registered. The details are well covered in the publication - ‘Guide for New Pig keepers’. (Details are given in ‘further information’). This covers registering, movement, record keeping, identification, feed advice and notifiable diseases along with some useful contacts and website links that explain about registering and movement licences INFORMATION AND TRAINING At least a basic knowledge of pig husbandry and welfare should be gained before venturing into pig keeping. There’s plenty of information available from books and the internet, but getting some ‘hands on’ experience is invaluable.
