All stock entering these grounds MUST be tick free. Exhibitors travelling from declared tick zones will be required to meet the requirements for moving low-risk carriers from the tick zone to an agricultural show in the tick-free zone. Exhibitors are responsible for compliance with any Government regulatory requirements for the movement of stock interstate and within Queensland. Interstate exhibitors are advised to check for updates to border crossing regulations and opening times. STOCK NOT ACCOMPANIED BY THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION WILL BE REFUSED ENTRY TO THE GROUNDS. A separate health declaration must be signed and returned to the convenor, with a copy of the entries. By signing the Health Declaration Form, all exhibitors declare that to the best of their knowledge, no alpaca exhibited by them should show signs or symptoms of disease at the time of exhibition. Any form that is incomplete will be returned to the Exhibitor and must be returned by closing date of entries. JOHNES DISEASE: Queensland is a BJD Protected Zone. Alpacas cannot enter Queensland unless they are from a BJD Protected Zone, BJD Free Zone, Q-Alpaca or AlpacaMap MN certified property. The exhibitor, by signing the health declaration form, declares that the alpacas entered are from a herd or a property which has had no Johnes Disease and have not been in contact with infected animals or properties. Exhibitors whose entries are from a Monitored Negative (MN) or Tested Negative (TN) status herd under MAP program should include their MAP assessment number. It is the responsibility of the exhibitor to declare their Johne’s Disease status in accordance with the Australian Johne’s Disease Market Assurance Program for Alpacas. Preparation of Exhibits and Cleanliness of Pens All exhibitors must place their animals in the pens allotted by the Show Stewards. No Alpacas shall be removed from the pen without permission of the Exhibitor or his representative, or at the direction of the Chief Steward, other than for the purpose of judging and exercising. All animals must be exercised and returned to their pens by 7.45am each day. No grazing is allowed on site. Exhibitors must keep the pens allotted to their animals clean, and give proper attention to their stock throughout the Show. Exhibitors must provide their own feed, and containers for feed and water. Bedding Materials It is the responsibility of each Exhibitor to provide bedding for their alpacas (the type being optional). If desired, bedding straw may be ordered and paid for with your entries. The floor is very slippery. You are advised to use suitable bedding to put under your animals.

Period of Exhibition Alpacas must be penned by 7.00am Saturday 28th March 2020 and may not be removed from the Showgrounds until after 5.00pm, or at the conclusion of the trophy presentation if later that 5.00pm, on Saturday 28th March 2020. The Convenor must be advised if exhibits need to leave the grounds earlier and MUST have a genuine reason for earlier departure. It is expected that all alpacas will have been removed from the showgrounds by 10.00 am on Sunday 29th March 2020. Non-compliance will mean forfeiture of any prizes Inspection of Exhibits The inspection of all alpacas will be done between 7:00am and 8.30am on Saturday 28th March 2020 alpacas, although some inspections may take place outside of these times if convenient. All alpacas must be inspected. Alpacas not in their allocated pens to be available for inspection at the official time may be disqualified by the Chief Steward. Exhibitors must be in attendance at the time of the inspection and will be required to assist. All alpacas must be registered with the Australian Alpaca Association Ltd. and carry an approved brass tag showing the alpaca’s IAR number. Wethers must also be registered with the AAA as per Showing Rules. Any alpacas not registered to the exhibitor by closing date for entries will be disqualified and will not appear in the catalogue. NOTE: If there is no IAR tag present in the ear of an animal exhibit, official AAA confirmation must be provided by the owner to the Chief Steward that the ear tag has been recently lost and that a new tag has been ordered and paid for. Replacement tag orders and payments must be lodged with the National Office, a minimum of one week before the date of the show. Failure to present such advice at inspection will result in disqualification of the animal. No animal shall be eligible for exhibition if it is not entire (except for wethers). All genitalia shall be complete, properly formed and proportioned for normal reproduction. No wether may have any visible genetic faults or physical disfigurement. The Convenor shall appoint a person, or persons, as a qualified inspector, or inspectors, who shall inspect all alpacas for genetic faults, colour class and IAR number and visible physical disfigurement. Any animal which, in the opinion of the Chief Steward and/or veterinary surgeon, is not in a fit state to be exhibited may be rejected by them and debarred from competing in the class or classes for which it has been entered. Any decision or determination of disqualification is entirely within the discretion of the Chief Steward. The Inspector or Chief Steward will classify all entries for age, sex and colour and has the power to transfer an exhibit to the class which, in his/her opinion, it should have been entered. The Chief Steward will combine or split classes as he/she sees fit. The use of hormones and/or tranquillisers is prohibited. Any Exhibitor violating this Regulation will be dealt with by the Council. Fleece Length Requirement: Alpacas should be shorn annually. Halter class entry must have a minimum fleece length of 50 millimetres and a maximum fleece age for Huacaya of under 14 months, for Suri in a first fleece of under 18 months, and for Suri in a second or subsequent fleece of under 14 months Any alpaca found to have lice or mite infestation must be removed from the showgrounds immediately along with any other alpacas present that belong to the same exhibitor.

Female Mature Class: To be eligible for entry into a Mature Class (48 months and over) a female alpaca must have produced a cria registered or recorded on the IAR. This applies to mature age Suri alpacas entered in the 30 months and over class also. Exhibitors’ Meeting - Chief Steward The Chief Steward requires all exhibitors to attend a meeting to be held in the judging ring before judging commences for advice on show procedures. Judging A competitor may not discuss with the Judge their alpacas or proposed exhibits prior to, or during the Show judging. The Judge’s decision shall be final. He/she may choose not to award a prize or prizes in a class. In the event of the Judge deciding that exhibits in any Class or Championship are not worthy of the prize, no prize or ribbon shall be awarded. Each exhibitor will be allocated a Catalogue Number as published in the CATALOGUE. All exhibitors will be supplied with exhibit numbers cards with a catalogue number corresponding with their entries. Exhibitors should ensure exhibit numbers are clearly displayed on their left arm by the use of a black armband while in the judging ring. The age of the animal and age of the animal’s fleece will be printed on the corners of the exhibit number for easy reference by the judge. Black armbands will be available for purchase at the official desk prior to the start of judging. All first place winners in each class are eligible to compete for Age Championships. After selecting the Champion, the Judge will be required to select an animal for Reserve. The Reserve Champion shall be selected from the remaining first prize animals together with the second prize winner of the class which furnished the Champion. The Judge’s decision shall be final. He/she may choose not to award a prize or prizes in a class, or may choose not to award champion prizes at his/her discretion. All Championship winners will be eligible to compete for the Supreme Exhibit of the show, in either Suri or Huacaya. Splitting of classes: All classes over 20 animals are to be split evenly from youngest to oldest. Best of Colour: Best of Colour Classes will be run at the 2020 Heritage Toowoomba Royal Show. All first place winners in each class are eligible to compete in their colour groups for Best in Colour Awards. The Supreme exhibits (suri and huacaya) from the age competition will be considered the Best in Colour for the colour they competed in, so other first place getters from that colour will not be required to re-enter the ring. Correct Animal Colour Classification: An alpaca is to be shown in the appropriate colour class, when it is predominantly that colour. Any colour variations will be assessed at time of inspection. The chief steward may move animals into a different colour class upon inspection of exhibit. Exhibits shall not have fleece of a different colour to that of the blanket removed from an animal to a level below that of the blanket fleece. Guides to colour classifications:

White: constitutes a pristine, bright white fleece. [NB: white animals with light fawn on the neck or backline should be entered in the light fawn class].

Light fawn: alpacas with a cream or off white fleece or that have light fawn on the neck or backline.

Grey: a predominantly grey alpaca is to be shown in a grey class, whether or not it has any other coloured spots present and any colour variations will be assessed at the Judge’s discretion. The grey classes will include light greys, medium greys, dark greys and rose greys.

Roan: an alpaca that is fawn, brown or black with white fibres through the blanket of the fleece. A roan usually appears externally to be a solid fawn, brown or black, until the fleece is opened, at which time the white fibres are visible and uniformly interspersed throughout the blanket of the fleece.

Fancy: an alpaca is to be shown in a fancy class if it has an unusual or striking distribution of colour e.g. two or more different coloured saddle markings. [NB: An alpaca with a solid saddle of one colour and different colour markings on the head, chest or legs does not constitute a fancy alpaca].

Sires Progeny Class: Sires Progeny Class - comprises a group of three alpacas (males or females but not wethers) six months and over, not necessarily owned or bred by one exhibitor, all progeny of one sire drawn from ordinary classes (i.e. must have been entered as exhibits in the other classes of this show). Entries may be lodged on the day of the show. Exhibitors will be advised over the P.A. system when sires progeny entries are closing. Only one entry fee is required per progeny group. Only one progeny from any one dam may be shown in each Sire’s Progeny Group. There must be at least 2 entries (3 alpacas per entry) in the sire’s progeny class for the judging to go ahead. Dam’s Progeny Class: Dams Progeny Class - comprises two progeny from the same dam. A Dam’s Progeny entry may be a pair of females, males, or female and male (not wethers). The progeny need not be owned or bred by the one exhibitor, but must be the progeny of the same dam. Alpacas entered for the Dam’s Progeny class must have been entered as animal exhibits in the same show as that in which they are to be exhibited as Dam’s Progeny. Entries may be lodged on the day of the show. Exhibitors will be advised over the P.A. system when dams progeny entries are closing. Only one entry fee is required per progeny group. Only one progeny from any one sire may be shown in each Dam’s Progeny Group. There must be at least 2 entries (2 alpacas per entry) in the dam’s progeny class for the judging to go ahead. Ribbons: Ribbons will be awarded to placegetters in their Classes, and sashes to Champion and Reserve Champions. RIBBON COLOURS: Blue 1st, Red 2nd, White 3rd, Yellow 4th, Green 5th, Buff 6th. Winners of the Wether Classes are not included in championships and cannot qualify for supreme championship. Handlers Attire: Handlers shall wear either a plain white coat or one with the AAA logo only (with the exception of the AAFL Trademark logo) over long trousers or long skirts with clean dress shoes or boots. A handler shall be deemed to be incorrectly attired if his/her dress or

the animal being led displays any information capable of being construed as advertising for any stud. The Chief Steward may disqualify an exhibitor for incorrect attire. All handlers showing animals must be competent in the handling of their exhibit, or removal from the ring may be requested by the Judge. Advertising: Promotional material is permitted within the bounds of the standard pen height for that show. Each Exhibitor may display one stud sign not exceeding 75cm x 75cm per pen, but shall remove any such sign forthwith if directed to do so by the Convenor or Chief Steward who shall have full power to give such direction without giving any reason whatsoever. For sale signs are not permitted. Display/promotional alpacas are not permitted. Ribbons won at any other previous show are not permitted. A handler shall be deemed to be incorrectly attired if his/her dress or the animal being led displays any information capable of being construed as advertising for any stud.

Grand Parade: Subject to Show Society requirements, the prize winning animals may be requested to take part in the Grand Parade. Alpacas with Q Alpaca or MN Status are exempt. Consent for publication: The Exhibitor irrevocably consents to the RASQ publishing or reproducing in any manner whatsoever any particulars or information in relation to their Exhibits; the publication or reproduction may be in a printed form or visual image through electronic means and/or on the internet. Companion animals and dogs: Special permission to bring a companion alpaca must be obtained from the Convenor or Chief Steward prior to submission of the entry form, otherwise no companion alpacas will be permitted. No dogs are permitted into the precinct of where Show animals are being penned or shown in the ring. Guide Dogs are exempt. Fleeces: All fleeces being exhibited (including wether fleeces) must be the bona fide property of the exhibitor and the exhibitor must be an AAA Ltd. Financial member. Only one fleece (that has been shorn in the 18 months prior to the Show) may be shown from any one animal. Fleeces must not have been exhibited at the Toowoomba Royal Show previously. It is recommended that fleeces be placed in bags, made of satin or similar material, or heavy duty plastic. Plastic garbage bags should be avoided. Exhibitors, when submitting fleeces at the Show, must attach to the fleece the fleece identification tags as found in this schedule. Fleeces will be displayed with no names until after the judging has been completed. Unless fleeces are collected from the show, stamped return addressed postage should be supplied. Fleeces not collected on the day or without return freight will be disposed of. Coloured fleeces: If insufficient coloured fleeces are entered, the chief steward reserves the right to merge fleece classes with the nearest colour class to be judged. Junior Judging Competition: The Junior judging competition will take place under show conditions and will be split into two age group:

under 15 yrs, and 15 to under 25 yrs.

One class of either four animals or four fleeces is judged by competitors. The animals or fleeces may be either suri or huacaya. In each age group, there are two sections: visual and oral. Visual judging takes place first. Competitors are allowed ten minutes to judge the four animals or fleeces and to complete their placing card. In the visual class, competitors are scored on handling, general competence, ringcraft, presentation and dress. The number of competitors required to present oral judgements is left to the discretion of the Chief Steward. Where the number of competitors is large, it may be appropriate to limit the number of competitors that progress to the oral section. In the oral class, competitors are scored on accuracy of observation, ability to compare animals or fleeces, and speaking ability. The competitors in the oral section are allowed three minutes to inform the over judge of the reasons for their placing.

Protests: Only an exhibitor may lodge a protest against another exhibitor or a Show Official. The protest shall be lodged in writing together with a deposit of $50, which shall be refunded if the protest is upheld. The sole grounds for a protest shall be a breach of the Show Rules. Protests shall be lodged with the Chief Steward or Show Convenor within one hour of the end of the day’s showing (when the last animal leaves the ring). The Chief Steward shall set up a Protest Committee if required. The Committee shall comprise the Chief Steward as the Chair and two ordinary members not associated with the alleged incident. If an alleged incident occurred resulting in a protest in a class where the Chief Steward was exhibiting and his or her exhibit may have some bearing on the outcome of the protest then the Chief Steward would stand aside and be replaced by the Show Convenor or another suitable member. A meeting will be convened within 30 minutes of the protest being received. The Protest Committee shall immediately investigate the protest and if found to be valid, initiate appropriate action. Complaints against Judges are to be put in writing, within one week of the alleged incident, addressed to the AAA Ltd. National Secretary, c/- AAA Ltd. National Office accompanied by a $50 fee, which will be refunded in the event that the complaint is upheld.
