Note for Information Regarding Movement of Bovine to Shows

The Department of Agriculture implemented a number of changes on 4^th February 2019 which changed the procedures and criteria applicable when applying for a Certificate of Compliance for the movement of cattle. These also impact on the certificate which is required when moving bovine to a Show.
The following sets out the criteria applicable:

• The movement of cattle to and from an Agriculture Show within the State must be recorded on the Animal Identification and Movement System (AIM).
• In line with these changes a specific certificates of Compliance for the “Movement of Bovine from a Single  Holding to a Show” must now be requested prior to the movement of animals concerned.
• These certificates can be created by (i) applying on-line using their agfood account or (ii) where the keeper is not on-line the certificate can be generated by the local Regional Veterinary Office following receipt of a NBAS31K with issue of the certificate being subject to normal criteria applicable. This form will be available on the Departments Website and will also be included with the Show Circular when issued.
• When applying for this certificate the destination herd / or Show number is not required. The certificate generated will include an “S” symbol.
• The Certificate of Compliance for a Show will continue to be valid for a period of up to 30 days. As is currently the case these can be used for the movement of animals to a number of shows during the validity period of the certificate.
• Please also note—Calves which are less than 10 days cannot be moved to a Show

As is currently the case the Movement Notification Section of the Certificate should be Completed by the Keeper and the Show Secretary who must clearly indicate the Show Number. The Show movement should be recorded on the passport. Ultimate responsibility for fulfilling these  requirements lies with the Show Secretary. If the animals move to a herd other than the source herd, the new destination herd must complete and sign the certificate also.
Completed forms should be sent by the Show Secretary to the local RVO within 7 days of the Show.

Important Notice to Animal Owners involved in showing Animals at Shows

The Irish Shows Association recommends that all animal owners with insurance ensure their coverage extends to include their animals while participating in shows. This extension may come at little to no additional cost, depending on your insurer.
This advice is given because, if your animal were to injure someone or damage property, and it is determined that the animal was beyond your control at the time, you could be held fully or partially responsible for any injury or damage caused. As a result, you may be liable for all or part of any court award or settlement.

Note: There Will Be A Minimum Of 3 Entries Per Class Or Classes May Be Amalgamated
