        The following changes are being introduced for keepers of bovine animals who wish to show cattle – these changes apply for the 2022 Show season.
        KEEPERS OF CATTLE ARE NOW REQUIRED TO OBTAIN A CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE PRIOR TO THE MOVEMENT OF CATTLE TO A SHOW
        Certificates of compliance can be obtained online from the animal identification and movement (AIM) system through the www.agfood.ie facility or from the cattle movement notification agency.
        When applying for a certificate of compliance, keepers should not specify a destination herd.


        On Show day, the certificate of compliance should be presented to the Show Secretary along with bovine passport for the animal.


        The Keeper and Show Secretary will then sign the movement notification section of the certificate which will then be sent to the local DVO for recording onto the AIM system.


        Please note only cattle which a valid certificate of compliance provided to Show Secretary will be allowed to be shown on show day.


        These Certificates will replace the previously used CMMS 4 Forms.
