Cattle

Show Description

Classes for both Dairy and Beef Cattle.

Please read the Livestock Schedule for specific Cattle Section Show Conditions.

All cattle must be trained to be halter led and to have a proper halter on at all times. Bulls must have a Bulldog/Nose Leader – exhibitors must comply with HSE notes GS36 to ensure that the animal is under proper control, at all times. An animal should be entered in only ONE class, except pairs and groups. Calves may also be entered in Young Handler and Young Farmers Club Classes. Any Young Farmer leading in Open Classes must wear their Young Farmers Number as well as their class number.

The Grand Parade of Livestock will take place in the Dorset Life Main Ring promptly at 15:15 on both show days. To ensure there is a safe and easy route into the Main Ring for the parade, all Livestock will be gathered in the Cattle Judging Rings before proceeding into the Main Ring. This route into the Main Ring will be sign posted and lined with Stewards to help assist. We ask for all prize-winning exhibits to partake in the Grand Parade, however even if you have not
won a prize, we hope you will join in the Grand Parade.
