Show Requirements
The following information is part of the contract that will be sent to you once you have informed the sheep show that you would like to go ahead.
Legislative Requirements
If the showground is normally on agricultural land or there are other exhibitors with cloven hoof animals i.e. sheep, cattle, goats or camelidae, then an animal gathering license must be applied for from DEFRA your local trading standards can help you with this. Otherwise, if the sheep show is the only exhibitor with cloven hoof animals, please inform us and we will be able to apply our annual disapplying license.
