negative C.A.E. tested within the twelve months prior to the Show. This category may include goats
eligible for category ‘B’. Regulation 26(b)(i) defines “whole herd” for C.A.E. testing purposes. “No entries
will be accepted in the ‘B’ or ‘W’ categories unless C.A.E. blood test results are on B.G.S. submission
forms or Sheep and Goat Health Scheme Forms. This is to enable quick and accurate confirmation of
the status of goats attending the show”.
