MAEDI VISNA (MV) ACCREDITED SCHEME

It is most important that exhibitors make quite clear on their entry forms, by ticking the correct box whether they are MV accredited; i.e. a fully accredited MV accredited sheep must be accompanied by a MV/CAE HSR Certificate. This is very necessary to enable us to provide the correct penning and show facility. Members of this scheme will be aware of the regulations regarding coming into contact with non- accredited sheep and the quarantine regulations thereafter.
