The display is made up of six to sixteen year olds in their distinctive red tunics – although the youngest rider is only five years old! From the sound of revving engines to the awe of a billowing fire jump and the suspense of a multiple motorcycle combination ‘cross-over’ routine, The Imps will have you mesmerised by an unmissable display of discipline and skill..

The Human Tractor PullLast year was the inaugural Human Tractor Pull at the Heathfield Show. Exclusive to the Heathfield Show, this popular viewing event will run again in 2018. Building on the experience of last year we hope to have 8 teams taking part in the pull. If you feel like entering a team of 8 please contact our Show Chairman, Graham Mosey, on 07860 410481.

APPENDIX A TO THE RULES OF THE SOCIETY.Rules and conditions of entry in cattle classes

In the event of Show cancellation entry fees will be refunded less 10% to cover administration costs.

All exhibitors must warrant that the animals entered have been in a fit and healthy condition for the last six months.

1. Exhibitors must comply with all current DEFRA Rules and Regulations.2. It is the responsibility of exhibitors to insure all property and livestock on the Showground or elsewhere which is his

own, or for which he is responsible. The Society requires exhibitors to effect Employers Liability insurance where this is required by statute. The Society also requires exhibitors to effect Public Liability and Products Liability. The Society therefore recommends all exhibitors to ensure they have the appropriate insurance cover

3. Cattle at the Show which abort or calve or show evidence of doing so must not be exhibited and must be placed in the approved isolation immediately. The isolation accommodation will be easily accessible from the cattle lines and clearly marked.a) Where an animal calves prematurely or aborts, the DVO must be informed immediately, it must be returned home

together with all other show animals from the same registered premises after a full range of samples, including if possible a placental smear, has been taken. The suspect animal should be isolated during transit.

b) In the case of full-term calving, if the owner or Show Secretary arranges for a blood sample and a vaginal swab to be submitted to an approved laboratory for RBPT and microscopic examination and the tests are negative, the animal may return to the Show lines at the discretion of the Show Secretary.

The Show Organisers reserve the right to refuse entry to the Show to any animal deemed unfit by the Show Veterinary Inspection.

4. When milking, udder cloths, hands or milking machine units must be suitably disinfected between each cow.5. Dams may suckle their calves but otherwise calves must be fed only reconstituted dried milk.6. Any cow or heifer that, in the opinion of the Hon. Veterinary Surgeon, is bagged to such an extent as to cause the

animal undue suffering must be eased in his presence and to his satisfaction.7. The Show Committee reserves the right to amalgamate any class where the entries are insufficient, i.e. 4 entries or

under.8. Exhibitors may make an unlimited number of entries in any class on payment of the appropriate fees. Cows or heifers

in recorded classes may be entered in the inspection class for which they are eligible. With the exception of the recorded classes and calves entering in Young Handlers classes, no animal may compete in more than one class as a single animal.

9. The Committee reserves the right to reject or cancel the entry or entries made by any person, if they should deem fit to do so and the right to amalgamate classes or cancel any class or classes, refunding any fees paid in respect thereof.

10. In the interest of public safety, no cattle or sheep may be loaded until all animals have been returned to their stalling after the Cattle Parade.

11. Protests – Notice of objection to any entry or decision must be made in writing to the Cattle Secretary as soon as possible and in any case not later than 30 minutes after the judging is completed. A deposit of £5 must be made; if on investigation the protest is not sustained, the deposit will be forfeited to the funds of the Show Society.

12. Substitution of animals in the cattle section will be allowed, after the closing date of entries provided the animal substituted is in the same class as the original entry. Details of the substitute entry must be given to the Cattle Secretary on arrival on the Showground on the Friday night and this information must be displayed above the stall. Failure to notify the Cattle Secretary will result in disqualification and any prizes won will be forfeited.

13. In the event of a serious accident to an animal and on the recommendation of the Show Veterinary Officer that the animal be slaughtered all efforts will be made to contact the animal’s owner for consent to slaughter. If the owner cannot be found within a reasonable period of time, a police officer on site will be asked to provide written authority as empowered under the Protection of Animals Act 1911.

14. Championship. To be eligible for a championship all cows must have calved within 14 months of the show date. Date of last calving must be stated on the entry form.

Exhibitors must be aware of judging Special Awards and be ready with their animals when called.15. In all cases the Judge’s decision is final.16. Parade of Cattle. All cattle will be required to parade as directed by the stewards. It is specially requested that

stock attendants shall wear white coats or breed uniforms. Failure to parade may result in forfeiture of prize money. Catalogue numbers must be worn by all animals on parade.

CATTLE


• Bulls of three years of age or upwards, at the closing date of entries, must have sired at least three living calves born within twelve months prior to that date.

• Cows and Heifers in milk will be expected to be shown with milk production poten-tial demonstrated.

• In-calf animals. It is expected that the Judges can reasonably satisfy themselves that an animal is in calf and in the case of cows, satisfy themselves about the soundness of the udder.

• Recorded Classes. It is intended that the animal entered has completed the lactation on which she is being judged and is in calf and dry, or completed 305 days in time to get official confirmation of it, or milking in her next lactation.

• No animal may be judged on the same lactation in successive years at this Show.• Milk Record• Particulars of milk and butter fat record giving information required MUST

accompany the entry form.• All bedding and feed must be supplied by the Exhibitor. Drinking and washing water

is available on the Showground.• Judging and Scale of Points• Prizes will be awarded in accordance with the total number of points gained by each

cow under the following scale:• Inspection. The cow placed first will be awarded 500 points. The second and lower

places will be awarded points at the discretion of the Judge (not exceeding 499 for any one animal).

• Milk Record. 1 point for each 1kg. of butter fat and protein in total.• Calving Interval. 1 point to be added for every day under 400. 1 point will be de-

ducted for every day over 400.• 1% yield deducted for each month or part thereof, when a cow has been milked three

times a day to a maximum of 10%.• Exhibitors who milk three times a day must state this on their entry form.• Beef Breeds. Although the object of the junior heifer classes is to cater for the empty

heifer, an animal that has been served qualifies, providing it is within the specified age group.

• Because of the danger of the discharge from cows or heifers that are close to calving, or have just calved, it is an obligation of the exhibitor to refrain from bringing to the Show any animal that is still making a discharge.

• It has been decided that cows with less than 3 weeks to calve will no longer be allowed to enter the show and must not be brought onto the Showground. Simi-larly calves at foot must be over 3 weeks old when accompanying cows to the Show, calves under 21 days old will not be allowed onto the Showground.
