Livestock Exhibitors Disease Control Obligations The health of all animals and people present during the Great Yorkshire Show (GYS) is of paramount importance to the organisers. As such, we would like to remind livestock exhibitors of their responsibilities with respect to the health of their animals. Only fit and healthy animals should be transported to the Show. Any clinical signs of disease, however mild, detected on farm must result in the affected animal(s) remaining at home and not travelling to the GYS. This is the cornerstone on which high levels of Biosecurity can be built at the Show. Once on the Showground, if any animals develop any signs of illness one of the Show Veterinarians should be alerted immediately. If we all ensure only healthy animals arrive at the GYS and if any animal becomes sick at the Show, prompt veterinary care is sought we minimise the risk of; • A Notifiable Disease Outbreak • Zoon\otic Infections passing from livestock to people. • Endemic Veterinary Diseases spreading between pens/stalls. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. GYS 2021 - SPECIAL CONDITIONS Exhibitors must not arrive before Wednesday if their allotted judging days are Thursday and Friday, or stay later than Wednesday if they were judged on Tuesday and Wednesday, unless there are exceptional circumstances. Any request to do so must be made on the entry form stating clearly what the circumstances are and the decision of the Society will be final. This year we have to comply with additional COVID-19 safety measures with regards to creating more space and social distancing across the Showground.
