TB
All Animals must come from herds which are not restricted and the herd and the relevant animals must have had a clear test within the previous 12 months.
No pre-movement test is required for TB. However, it is recommended by the Department that a 30 day pre-movement test for TB should apply to all shows.
Therefore you should apply in good time to the Show Secretary to check any requirements specific to the Show you wish to attend.

All eligible animals (i.e. Female aged 12 months and over and bulls aged 12 months and over) must have passed a test for brucellosis within the previous 60 days.
