24 CATTLE SECTION (RINGS 6 & 7) CLASSES COMMENCE AT 12 NOON SHARP CATTLE MOVEMENT NOTIFICATION FORM CMMS4 IS REQUIRED IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ANIMAL OWNERS INVOLVED IN SHOWING ANIMALS The Irish Shows Association would advise all Animal owners who have their Animals Insured to have the Insurance cover extended to cover them while showing Animals at the Shows, we understand that it costs very little or nothing at all depending on who you have Insurance cover with. If you are one of the few who don t have cover we would advise that you think about putting it in place for this purpose, it may be worthwhile. The reason for us giving you this advice is to protect yourself in the event of your animal lashing out, and injuring someone or damaging someone s property, if that were to happen, and it is established that your animal was out of your control you may be held responsible, or partly responsible for any Injury or damage caused & may end up paying all, or part of any settlement reached. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS - CATTLE Animal Health Status T.B. All animals must come from herds, which are Officially TB free (OTF) (i.e. not restricted), and the herd and relevant animals must have had a clear test within the previous twelve months. No pre-movement test is required for T.B. However, it is recommended by the Department that a 30-day pre-movement test for TB should apply to all Shows. Brucellosis (a) All animals must come from herds which are Officially Brucellosis free (OBF) (i.e. not restricted). (b)certain animals (i.e. females aged 18 months and over and bulls aged 24 months and over) must have passed a test for Brucellosis within the previous 60 days. However, these animals may move to any number of Shows within the validity period of the same 60-day premovement test. Where such an animal(s) is/are being shown repeatedly during successive 60-day validity periods, in the course of a Show season, the animal(s) may be allowed to move on foot of Permit ER 36A during the unexpired portion of a valid test where the animal is under test for the next validity period and the identity card/passport is held by the DVO/practitioner. Identification All cattle must bear two plastic tags with the same number (one in each ear) as issued under the Department s identification system. They must be accompanied by their passports (except in the circumstances outlined in the preceding sub-paragraph). Bulls for A.I. Stations In addition to the T.B. and Brucellosis tests, bulls destined for A.I. stations must be tested for I.B.R. (Infectious Bovine Rhynotracheitis), E.B.L. (Enzootic Bovine Leukosis), B.V.D. (Bovine Virus Diarrhoea) and Johnes Disease, within 30 days prior to movement into such stations. AIM Notification The movement of cattle to and from an Agricultural Show within the State must be recorded on AIM. Form CMMS 4 (available from local DVOs) shall be used for all except animals imported directly to the show (see below). Ultimate responsibility for fulfilling this requirement lies with the Show Secretary. The keeper of the animal(s) should complete sections 2 and 3(a) of the CMMS 4 form while Section 3(b) should be completed by the Show Secretary. Completed forms should be sent to the District Veterinary Office in the county where the Show is being held within 7 days of movement. Imports from Northern Ireland It is very important that any proposal to import cattle to a show is made known to the local District Veterinary Office well in advance so that consideration can be given to compliance with the requirements outlined below. CATTLE

25 Status of Animals Cattle from Northern Ireland being moved to a show must be certified in accordance with the normal requirements for intra-community trade in breeding animals including having passed a TB test (export interpretation) during the 30 days prior to export and a brucellosis test in the case of eligible animals (females and entire males over 12 months) during the 30 days prior to leaving the herd of origin. 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 (export interpretation) within 30 days and all cattle from Northern Ireland attending the show must have been brucellosis tested within 30 days as set out above. Documentation 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. 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). 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. A TRACES message will be sent for the return journey also (this will be performed by Department officials 99).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. The Show Secretary should complete a CMMS 5 form in respect of animals imported to take part in the Show. The owner of the imported animal(s) is required to sign the form also 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. The completed CMMS 5 form should then be forwarded to NBAS Division, Administration Building, Backweston Campus, Backweston, Celbridge, Co Kildare to enable recording of the movement. A carbon copy of the form will be provided for the Show Secretary, the official veterinarian and the herd keeper of the animal(s). CMMS 5 forms are available from local District Veterinary Offices (DVOs) or from the Cattle Movement Notification Agency, Clonakilty, Co Cork. CATTLE

31 SHEEP SECTION (RING 8) CLASSES COMMENCE AT 12 NOON SHARP Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine March 2013 SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS SHEEP Identification All sheep must be identified individually with appropriate ear tags issued in accordance with the requirements of the National Sheep Identification System (NSIS). Movement Documentation All consignments of sheep being moved must be accompanied by a completed dispatch document. Individual details of each sheep in the consignment must be recorded on the document. Sheep from non-restricted flocks only can be moved to shows. In the case of flocks restricted following diagnosis of scrapie, sheep possessing the ARR/ARR genotype only may be exhibited. The movement of these ARR/ARR genotype sheep must be accompanied by the relevant movement permit (SCR/10), which can be obtained from the local District Veterinary Office in the county where the flock is located. AIM Notification The movement of sheep to and from an Agricultural Show within the State must be recorded on AIM. This is done using a copy of the owners sheep dispatch document as follows: The owner/keeper presents the signed and completed dispatch document to the show secretary who checks it to ensure that it is completed in full. The show secretary fills in the MART section of the dispatch document with (i) the show number, (ii) the date of the move back to the source holding (iii) stamps it with the show stamp and (iv) signs the dispatch document. The show secretary then forwards the completed pink section of the dispatch document to the local DVO within 7 days of the show movement. The show secretary keeps white copy for his/her records. The source/destination keeper keeps the bottom yellow copy to enter it into their flock register. Ultimate responsibility for fulfilling this requirement lies with the Show Secretary. Flock Register All movements of sheep to and from shows must be recorded in the keeper s flock register. Exports to Northern Ireland All sheep must be accompanied by a TRACES intra-community trade certificate for ovine animals. 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 Department officials of the DVO). Exhibitors are advised to contact the show society in Northern Ireland well in advance of any show to determine the suitability of the show for return of animals (e.g. premises and sheep status), and whether the authorities will have officials and veterinary staff present to supervise and process documentation for animals returning to origin.
