DAIRY BREEDS SPECIAL REGULATIONS

Subject to The Royal National Agricultural and Industrial Association of Queensland Act, 1971, and to the Rules, By-Laws and Regulations of the Association, the following Special Regulations shall apply to Dairy Breeds:

REGISTRATION OF ANIMALS 1. All cattle entered must be registered in the name of the Exhibitor

as owner, in a Herd Book of the respective breed recognised by the Association for that breed in accordance with the Rules of the Herd Book Society provided that an animal shall be deemed to be registered if the Exhibitor furnishes proof that at the time of entry:-

(a) In the case of an animal of sufficient age to be registered,

all necessary documents to procure registration in his name have been lodged with the authority controlling the Herd Book and the delay in registration is in no way due to his default; or

(b) In the case of an animal not eligible for registration by reason of age that it is the progeny of registered parents and all necessary steps required to the date of entry have been taken to enable its registration in his name upon its attaining the required age.

(c) Any animal owned by a partnership, or group of persons,

may be entered in the name of the joint owners or, with the written consent of the others, in the name of any one, or in joint names of two or more of the co-owners.

(d) All dairy cattle entered in RNA classes must conform to the Royal Show showing policy of each individual Breed Society. Any animal not meeting Breed Society showing policies will be withdrawn. All Dairy Cattle entries will be submitted to their respective Breed Societies for approval against their Registration database.

(e) Wild card entry - $200 per entry NON REFUNDABLE,

plus normal class entry fees – restricted to those who have already entered in their respective breed at the current show. This allows an exhibitor to bring an extra exhibit (not previously nominated) in any class. All necessary paperwork must accompany the animal – the name and particulars of the animal would not appear in the catalogue of entries.

NOMINATION OF ANIMALS

2. Each Exhibitor must complete an Association's entry form giving all

particulars required on the form. The responsibility for the accuracy of the description and pedigree and for the eligibility of each animal entered rests solely with the exhibitor who must, when animals arrive on the Showgrounds, be in a position to produce to the Breed Inspectors, and if necessary, Council Stewards, documents relating to the registration of each exhibit or photocopies thereof. Tattoos must be legible or the animal will be rejected from competition.

All cattle entered for competition must conform to the rules and

regulations of their respective Breed Society. If an exhibitor does not advise in writing the number of head by the

date requested, the Council Stewards may at their discretion refuse to allow the exhibitor's animals to come upon or to remain on the Showgrounds. Such refusal will not entitle the exhibitor to a refund of entry fees paid.

NUMBER OF ENTRIES PER CLASS

3. There will be no restrictions in the number of entries in any class

except as hereunder. In classes under 18 months, an exhibitor may enter as many animals as he wishes but no more than two per class may be brought onto the Showgrounds or exhibited.

RATIONALISATION OF CLASS NUMBERS
