Dairy Cattle

Schedule 2015

Welcome from the PresidentThe Royal Queensland Show (Ekka) has been bringing the country and city together for 138 years to celebrate what makes Queensland great.

Competitions remain at the heart of the show. Since the very first exhibition in 1876, the Ekka has showcased animals, fine arts and produce from across Australia. We are proud to provide reward and recognition for those dedicated to producing the best of the best.

From champion bulls to champion cakes, the state’s premier competition event always draws a variety of entries. In 2014 the Ekka attracted more than 21,000 entries across 11,000 classes in 42 competition sections. More than 4,300 exhibitors travelled from across the country to compete for their chance to win one of our coveted blue ribbons. There were more than 1,000 first time competitors as well as new competition classes in the Fine Arts, Horse and Canine Competitions.

This year will see the introduction of a number of new classes across the Royal Queensland Show’s Competitions including Class 38 in the Prime Beef Paddock to Palate Competition, a Feature Terrier Specialty Show in the Canine Competition, a new Cake Decorating Contemporary – Novice Class in Fine Arts, a Kitten Feature Show in Cats and the 300mm Standing Block Hard Hitting Championship of Australia in the Woodchop and Sawing Competition.

For the first time in the Ekka’s history, the show ran over two full weekends last year giving visitors more opportunity than ever before to experience the show. This will continue again in 2015 from the 7-16 August.

As the show moves into the 21st century we remain committed to championing agriculture more than ever and will endeavour to achieve this through encouraging the community to embrace and advocate the critical role it plays in our everyday lives.

Since 1876, the RNA has been the proud custodian of this historic event and we are committed to building a wonderful legacy for future generations to enjoy.

Good luck and we look forward to seeing you at the 2015 Ekka.

Sincerely

David ThomasRNA President

meaning of the Workplace Health and Safety Act 2011 and exhibitors/competitors are required to ensure that they and all persons under their direction or control, including their contractors or sub-contractors, comply with all requirements of the Act and the RNA holds each exhibitor responsible to discharge its obligations to provide and maintain a safe place and system of work during occupation by the exhibitor/competitor of any area of the Showgrounds.

2. Each exhibitor/competitor will assess the risk to themselves, staff, volunteers, family, other exhibitors, RNA staff, show visitors, children and any person foreseeably affected by the presentation of their exhibit.

3. Risks identified by exhibitors/competitors will be eliminated or controlled by the exhibitor/competitor and particular attention will be paid to ensuring public safety and safety of other exhibitors/competitors.

4. Exhibits will only be held and handled by competent persons whose

experience is known to the exhibitor/competitor. 5. A “No Smoking Policy” will be strictly adhered to and policed by

Section requires Veterinary treatment then if the Exhibitor cannot be contacted immediately, the Council Stewards may instruct a Veterinary Surgeon to treat such Exhibit and the costs of such Veterinary Surgeon shall be paid by the Exhibitor to the Association.

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.

SUBSTITUTIONS

2. The RNA has introduced a new rule that allows for substitution of

animals. Substitutes are not required to be nominated at time of Entry. Substitution will only be allowed within a section only. i.e.: junior cow to junior cow, intermediate cow to intermediate cow, or senior cow to senior cow, and must remain in the same age class. A substitution may only occur within the same breed as originally entered and not in group classes.

A substitute in lieu of an original Entry will be available from Monday 22 June 2015 and must be advised to the RNA on the Substitution Form no later than Friday 7 August 2015 at 5:00pm.

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

4. 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.
