Exhibitors must notify the Society's Official Veterinary Surgeons if any of their cattle calve or show evidence of calving at the Show. The animals will then be placed in the approved isolation boxes pending their possible early removal from the Showground. The decision of the Official Veterinary Surgeons in such cases will be final and they will also have absolute control of the boxes. Where an animal calves at full term a blood sample and a vaginal swab will be taken and examined at an approved laboratory. If the Rose Bengal Test (RBT) and microscopical examination of a smear made from the vaginal swab are negative, the animal may return to the Show lines provided permission is granted by the Official Veterinary Surgeons. WHERE AN ANIMAL CALVES PREMATURELY OR ABORTS, THE CHIEF STEWARD, OFFICIAL VETERINARY SURGEONS AND DIVISIONAL VETERINARY MANAGER MUST BE INFORMED IMMEDIATELY. THE ANIMAL WILL BE PLACED IN ISOLATION IN APPROVED ACCOMMODATION, AND THE FULL RANGE OF SAMPLES (INCLUDING, IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, A PLACENTAL SMEAR) SHALL BE TAKEN.

Limitation of Entries 6.
