ANNOUNCERMr Jim Callinan

BIOSECURITY NOTICEAll cattle, sheep and goats exhibited at shows must be recorded in the NLIS database. This ensures exhibitors and shows comply with the Stock Diseases Regulation 2009 and that animals which have been to a show or sporting event are traceable.

Shows are a biosecurity risk because animals from different properties come together and then disperse again. It is in everyone’s interests that show committees and exhibitors ensure livestock movements are recorded.

The new Biosecurity (NLIS) Regulation will come into effect by June 2017 and will require that show organisers record livestock attendance at shows. This is an increase in responsibility for show committees. All cattle, sheep and goats have to be identified with an NLIS tag (except for dairy goats) and must be accompanied by an NVD or a Transported Stock Statement.

a Royal Show.5. Competitors and their attendants holding horses and officials of the Show only, will be allowed to

enter the ring enclosure.6. All exhibits not ready to be judged at time arranged will be disqualified, even though the event,

from any cause, is not held in the order shown in the official timetable.7. Every endeavour will be made to avoid judging of two classes concurrently, in which one exhibitor

may be interested. The Association, however, cannot accept any responsibility if the judging time happens to conflict with one or more classes or events.
