TB Testing – The Show is located in a Low-Risk Area and is a Non-Exempt Show for the purpose of TB Movement requirements. Cattle entries can only be accepted from areas with low risk of TB (4-year testing herds), except with DEFRA approval following a pre-movement test. For more information, please see TB movements applicable to Agricultural Shows 

Bluetongue Policy – Entry to all Northumberland County Show classes is conditional on the showground and the exhibitor not being in a bluetongue controlled zone. Should the rules and requirements change then entries will have to be altered accordingly as the situation evolves. If any entry has to be declined, any entry fees already paid would be refunded. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide updates as necessary to exhibitors. Our exhibitors and their livestock are our priority and we will do what is necessary to ensure our event does not risk spreading this disease. We ask any exhibitor who is put into a restricted zone after placing entries please contact the Show Secretary.
