Types of Livestock
You can showcase animals registered on the HBR, APR, MBR, or Red Angus Register. Whether for sale or display, make sure your livestock is well-prepared for the event environment. This includes making sure they are used to people in close vicinity and all of the expected noise and interactions they will face including having other livestock in close vicinity. Although not a requirement to have cattle led, having cattle quiet and well prepared for the occasion is strongly recommended.
Health Requirements
Ensure your cattle have tested negative for Pestivirus, and be aware of regulations for livestock from specific regions (e.g., fire ant zones). Contact local authorities for specific health requirements. Zoetis will be in contact to arrange complimentary vaccine to support the Immune Ready protocols.
