The FMD movement restriction hit three big shows in Scotland this weekend. Dumfries Show, due to be held today (Sat), was cancelled and Turriff Show (August 5 and 6) will go ahead, without sheep, cattle and
goats. News of the outbreak broke mid-event for the organisers of Perth Show (August 3 and 4). An emergency board meeting was held at the showground at 11pm last night (Friday) and show organisers decided that although
cattle, sheep and goats would not be allowed to attend the show, the second day of the event would go ahead.
Around 100 cattle were already on site at the showground ahead of today (Sat), the main livestock day. Many of these were Charolais from throughout Scotland, due to be exhibited at the National Charolais Show
at Perth today. Perth Show biosecurity officer, Grant Morris, a past show chairman, told Farmers Weekly, an official ministry vet arrived at the showground just before midnight on Friday night to supervise the veterinary
inspection of the cattle housed under canvas on site and their relocation back to farms.
Show organisers quickly put in place a range of additional biosecurity measures and police patrolled the cattle housing area which was cordoned off.The wheels of every float and haulage vehicle were disinfected prior to shipping cattle off the showground. In the case of multiple drop-offs, cattle were being unloaded at farm road-ends.
