The Show organisers would advise all animal owners to have their animals insured and to have
the insurance cover extended to cover them while showing animals at Shows. We understand
that it costs very little or nothing at all, depending on whom you have insurance with. The
reason for this advice is that if your animal lashed out and injured someone or damaged
someone’s property and it was established that your animal was out of your control at that
time, you may be held responsible or partly responsible for any injury or damage caused and
you may end up paying all or part of any settlement reached.
NB: If exhibitors require rails to divide pens, we advise that they should bring their
own stock.
NB: If sufficient entries are received Shearling Classes will be split from two shear
and upwards.

CODE OF PRACTICE – BIOSECURITY
Livestock Marts, Meat Plants, Showground’s, Co-operatives, Agricultural Premises
In general movement and mixing of animals presents the greatest risk of the spread of
most animal diseases. For that reason the operators of marts, meat plants, livestock
shows etc., have a key role to play in ensuring that the disease risks associated with their
23premises and operations are kept to a minimum. Specific legal requirements apply in
relation to bio-security arrangements. Adherence to these bio-security arrangements
and the guidelines outlined below can have a significant impact on reducing the
opportunities for disease transmission.
Acceptance of animals
• All keepers must be registered appropriately if presenting animals (cattle,
sheep, goats, pigs, poultry, horses and other equine, exotic/other animals
(including Llama, Alpaca)).
• Under no circumstances should animals that are identified improperly or
documented improperly be accepted.
Cleaning / disinfection
• All areas where animals will be located should be clean and contamination free
prior to introducing animals for show purposes.
• All areas where show animals are congregated, held or have been in contact
should be washed down thoroughly and disinfected with an approved
disinfectant at the end of each day at a minimum.
• Keep drinking/feeding troughs clean and free of animal waste or other
contaminants.
• Cleaning and disinfection facilities should be available on site for all transport
vehicles delivering/collecting animals. Shows should enforce the use of these
cleaning and disinfection facilities at all times.
• Ensure that clients, when visiting the premises, wear waterproof footwear (e.g.
wellington boots) that can be cleaned and disinfected easily.
• Provide foot-baths with suitable approved disinfectant at appropriate locations
on the premises.
• Provide facilities for hand washing with liquid soap and for washing down
footwear.
• Provide signs on premises reminding people of the need to minimise the risks
of disease transmission and the availability on-site of washing facilities for
vehicles and persons.
Identification, documentation and record keeping
• Retain a record of the registration number of each vehicle delivering/collecting
each consignment of animals.
• Maintain a register, in readily accessible form, of all vendors/buyers, including
numbers and types of animals involved in each transaction.
24• Ensure compliance with all requirements in relation to record keeping and
retention of records.
• Forward completed Certificates of Compliance in respect of bovines and
Sheep or Goat Dispatch Documents to the local Regional Veterinary Office
to ensure that the cattle, sheep and goat movement details are recorded on
the Animal Identification and Movement (AIM) database within 7 days of the
Show.
Suspicious/unusual transactions or movements
• Report any suspicious or unusual transactions or movements involving
livestock to the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine or the
Garda Siochana (such information can be provided on a strictly confidential
basis).

Cattle being Imported from Northern Ireland for an Agricultural Show
Imports from Northern Ireland
It is very important that any proposal to import cattle to a show, including from
Northern Ireland, is made known to the local Regional Veterinary Office well in
advance so that consideration can be given to compliance with the requirements
outlined below.
Premises
The Show premises at which the cattle will reside for the duration of their stay
must either be an assembly centre approved for exports or of such a standard as
26being capable of being approved for such a purpose temporarily. A fundamental

including having passed a TB test (export interpretation) during the 30 days prior to
export.
To comply with eligibility requirements for re-importation into Northern Ireland
after the show
Cattle must not mix with any cattle of a lesser health status whilst at the show.
This can be achieved in one of two ways:
(i) either the imported animals are kept segregated fully from other cattle at the show
which have not been tested, or
(ii) all cattle attending the show must have been TB tested (export interpretation)
within 30 days.
Documentation Required
1. Cattle imported to a show from Northern Ireland must be accompanied by an
original breeding animal intra-trade health certificate (known as a TRACES certificate)
and a passport for each animal.
2. A TRACES message, corresponding with the TRACES certificate, will be sent for
each animal or consignment being dispatched to the show (this will be performed by
officials in the dispatching country).
3. For the return journey, this original certificate must be endorsed by the signature
of the official veterinarian of the Department at the show, together with the official
stamp of the competent authority and date of endorsement.
4. A TRACES message will be sent for the return journey also (this will be performed
by Department officials attending the show).
5. In addition, a non-comminglement certificate must be issued by the official
veterinarian for the show at or before return, stating that the animal shows no clinical
signs of disease and has not been in contact, during its stay at the show/event, with
animals of a lesser health status. The passport must accompany the animal on the
return journey also.
276. CMMS 5 - In such cases and in addition to the above the Keeper/Owner of the
animals in conjunction with the Show Secretary must also ensure that a CMMS 5
document is completed and returned to the Animal Identification and Movement
Division, Backweston Administration Building, Stacumny Lane, Celbridge, Co Kildare,
W23 X3PH detailing those animals imported to take part in the Show. The keeper of the
imported animal(s) is required to sign the form when the animal arrives at the Show
and provide his/her herd number. Following the Show, the official veterinarian should
complete the bottom portion of the CMMS 5 form also confirming that he has stamped
the official Health Certificate and that he has issued a Non-Comminglement Certificate.
7. A copy of the CMMS 5 form is attached at Appendix 2 and will also be available on
the Departments website/from the local RVO.
8. The Secretary/Keeper should retain a photocopy of the form if required.
Cattle being Exported to Northern Ireland for an Agricultural Show
a) Cattle moving from Ireland to a Show in Northern Ireland must be recorded on the
Departments Animal Identification and Movement database (AIM).
b) When the intra-community-trade Certificate is being issued by the local RVO, they
will arrange to have the export movement for the animal(s) recorded onto AIM. All

Export of cattle to an agricultural show within the EU other than to Northern Ireland
Agreement for the movement and immediate return of cattle to a Show in another
country or vice versa currently applies for movements between Ireland and Northern
Ireland only – it does not apply for movements to Great Britain or further afield.
Requests for cattle from Ireland to attend shows in countries other than Northern
Ireland will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
28Before the movement of cattle from Ireland to a Show in parts of the EU other than to
Northern Ireland takes place, it is imperative to establish that the Competent Authority of
the destination country has agreed to put in place the same system for the processing of
the documentation as applies to exports to Northern Ireland. Therefore exhibitors who
wish to show cattle at an EU Show other than in Northern Ireland should contact the local
RVO at least one month prior to the Show.
Where the export of cattle from Ireland is agreed with the destination country, the
movement of such cattle must be recorded on AIM. When the official intra-community
trade Certificate for bovine animals is being issued by the local RVO, they will arrange to
have the export movement of the animal(s) recorded onto AIM.
Procedure to record the return from a Show to the Home Farm from (i) Northern Ireland
and/or (ii) a location within the EU other than to Northern Ireland where applicable in
line with the above.
Documentation required
Following the show, the following must be provided:
I.Original Health Certificate endorsed and stamped by the official veterinarian at the Show
II. An intra-community-trade Certificate
III. A Non-Comminglement certificate
iv. CMMS 6 form: When the animal returns to the home farm, the keeper presents these
Certificates to the RVO along with a completed CMMS 6 form stating that the animal
has returned from the show. The RVO can then record the import movement back to
the keeper’s holding on the AIM system. A copy of the CMMS 6 form is attached at
Appendix 3 and will also be available on the Departments website/from the local RVO. The
Secretary/keeper show should retain a photocopy of the form if required.
