All exhibitors whose stock are in the DEFRA or S.A.C Sheep Health Scheme should ensure that their stock are accompanied by the necessary movement certificate on show day. Members of these health schemes should ensure that their animals are kept at least 2 metres away from non-scheme stock. You must present your MV accreditation forms at the Livestock Secretary’s tent on arrival before unloading any stock.
