All Sheep Exhibitors are requested to note that the Show will accept entries from flocks in the Scheme. Separate accommodation and unloading/loading points will be provided for both categories. Non-scheme and Scheme Sheep must travel to and from the Show in separate transport. If any Scheme Sheep come into close contact with Sheep of a lower Scheme Category, it must, on return to its own or other Scheme premises, assume the status of the contact sheep. Generally, this will require isolation and testing at 6-9 monthly intervals until the status is regained. Scheme Sheep may only be allowed in Show Rings with Non-Scheme Sheep for brief periods of time provided nose to nose contact is prevented either by leading sheep on a collar or halter or ensuring at least two metres separation is maintained at all times. Provided that these requirements are followed Scheme Sheep will not lose their status and will not require post movement testing on return. Scheme Sheep being presented at Shows must be accompanied by a certificate stating the number and type of sheep. These certificates are available from SAC and must be presented to either the official Veterinary Surgeon or the Show Secretary or his nominee before the sheep are unloaded into the accommodation provided for the Scheme Sheep. Exhibitors – please remember to complete the box in the top right hand corner of the entry form which asks whether or not you are entering Scheme sheep. It will be assumed that at least 2 sheep will be allocated the same pen. Entries Close: 30th May, 2020 Entry fee: £4.00 Entry fees can be paid by cheque or BACS – please see entry form for details Late entries and telephone entries will not be accepted. Prizes: 1st £20, 2nd £15, 3rd £10 EXHIBITORS PLEASE NOTE All Exhibitors are requested to bring 2 licences to the Show one for entry and one for return which will be forwarded with vehicle passes CPH No. 48/215/8103 WAGON PASSES WILL BE ISSUED.

  • Farm Animals and Farming: Part 1
    A GUIDE TO THE COUNTRYSIDE: FARM ANIMALS & FARMING by Hunter Adair Farm animals and farming: Part 1 When you are out in the countryside in the summer, you will see a great variety of animals running about in the fields, and if you happen to be travelling in the Dales, or in the hills you will mostly find sheep and probably suckler cattle, which are cows with their calves running with them. Some sheep are bred for the high hills and areas where the land is much less fertile than on the lowland farms. The hill bred sheep are hardy and can stand a great deal of rough weather. In the winter when a blizzard or snow storm is forecast the sheep will come down Judging Blue Face Leicester from the hill tops on their own to lower ground and shelter, they seem to know when a storm sheep at The Royal Highland is coming. Show In Edinburgh There are over 50 breeds of sheep in this country and many people from the towns and cities think one sheep is just like another. All the different breeds of sheep have their own characteristics and peculiarities. Some sheep are pure bred and some sheep are cross bred to get a particular lamb, which a farmer may prefer, and which may suit his farm. Some breeds of sheep have been developed in certain parts of the country and in certain areas, and the name of the sheep is taken from the district where they were born and bred.

    National Character 21. Yorkshire Dales Area profile: Supporting documents www.gov.uk/natural-england 1 National Character 21. Yorkshire Dales Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment 1 2 3 White Paper , Biodiversity 2020 and the European Landscape Convention , we North are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are East areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good Yorkshire decision-making framework for the natural environment. & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their West decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape East scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader Midlands partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help West Midlands to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. East of England Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key London drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are South East suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance South West on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.
