The Instigator or The Owner of the said animal may be prohibited from again entering Stock for any of the Society’s Shows, for such period as the Committee may see fit.

4 The Society will not tolerate the administration to show exhibits (entered either for competition or sale/demonstration) of tranquillisers or other drugs which may in any way affect the performance of the animal in question, to have the effect of making it behave in the show ring in a manner which is not natural. The Society reserves the right to take any necessary samples.

A form can be obtained from the Chief Steward’s office. On completion the form should be personally handed to either the Chief Cattle Steward, Cattle Committee or any other Cattle Steward.

All objections must be lodged on the same day as the alleged incident occurred in accordance with the objection regulations, and no objection will be SUBSEQUENTLY received unless a reason satisfactory to the Committee is assigned for the delay. CATTLE RESTRAINTS Livestock must be under the control of a competent handler at all times and they must use approved restraints which are safe and fit for purpose. Movements on the Showground include areas used by the public and from the cattle lines into the judging rings and handlers must ensure adequate safeguards are in place to prevent an animal from escaping.
