Junior Beef Round-up

2018 Junior Beef Roundup

SHOW REQUIREMENTS FOR 2018

PLEASE PROVIDE THE INFORMATION SHEET TO YOUR VETERINARIAN

All animals entered in the show must meet the following requirements:

1. Be officially identified with an “840” RFID button issued by a state or federal animal health program or a metal ear tag (a bangs vaccination or silver metal tag) and entered on a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI – aka “Health Papers”) issued by an accredited veterinarian within 30 days of the show
2. CVI shall list each animal’s official identification number (see A above), age, sex, breed, Brucellosis vaccination status, and any test results and dates of tests.  
3. Animals MUST be free of infectious and contagious diseases, including Ringworm, Warts, and Pinkeye.  Animals currently being treated for any of the listed conditions that are visibly responding to treatment must have a written statement to that effect added to the CVI by the issuing veterinarian.
4. The above CVI’s accompanying each animal will be inspected by VA Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (VDACS) personnel at the arrival on the fairgrounds or at a time designated by the show committee. Failure to provide proper documentation &/or identification of show animals may result in failure to show. Any animal without a CVI will not be eligible to show.  Any animal with a CVI, but without proper identification will be required to be tagged on-site.  If the owner refuses to allow the animal to be tagged, then that animal will be ineligible to show.  All decisions of the show committee are final.

Please do not wait until the last minute to examine these requirements!

These requirements are compiled by the 2018 Junior Beef Roundup Committee, in cooperation with the State Veterinarian’s Office. If you have any questions, please contact Joi Saville (540) 231-2257 or joi.saville@vt.edu
