The Royal Bath & West Livestock Schedules are about to be sent to exhibitors and demonstrate the commitment by the Society to the Livestock Industry with the introduction of new classes.
These have been created for Beef Shorthorns and British Blue Cattle and will take place on the first day of show (Wednesday May 28 - Saturday May 31).
The Interbreed Cattle Championship Judge is the well known Welsh Black breeder Emyr Jones of Graig Goch, Llanrwst. Sheep have not been forgotten with new classes for Any Other Continental Breed and Any Other Native Breed, again judged on the first day.
The ever strong Pig section has an international addition with Kune Kune pig classes on Saturday 31st May. This breed, originally from New Zealand, has seen a rise in popularity in recent years.
This year due to the uncertainty of Blue Tongue movement restrictions the Society has also introduced a new stall and pen booking system and will take stall bookings for all cattle, with a similar pen booking arrangement for sheep, goats and alpacas. These entries will close on the 15th March; this will also apply to the Pig section. Individual animal details can then be confirmed at a later date. If movement restrictions change between the time of entry and the show that subsequently prevent an exhibitor from attending, all entries will be refunded.
