National Show Classes for Charolais & Limousin
Weighing scales provided by O'Donovan Engineering, Coachford, Co.Cork
Please show courtesy to stewards, judges and fellow competitors.
N.B. Please Note - Livestock Issues and General Rules at the Back of the schedule.
The Irish Shows Association would advise all animal owners to have their animals insured and to have the insurance cover extended to cover them while showing animals at Shows. We understand that it costs very little or nothing at all, depending on whom you have insurance with.
The reason for this advice is that if your animal lashed out and injured someone or damaged someone’s property and it was established that your animal was out of your control at that time, you may be held responsible or partly responsible for any injury or damage caused and you may end up paying all or part of any settlement reached.
Please note that, due to our restricted facilities in the livestock area, at this stage we are unfortunately unable to accommodate livestock to which the Export Health Regulations apply. (see back of Schedule)
