for welfare issues, should be removed from the market at which point the
matter is deemed to be out of the Society's hands.
9(n) the description in the catalogue of Flock Dispersal will mean that the
whole of the pedigree flock of that member is sold and that the flock will
no longer exist. Any dispersal sale of sheep will be held at the end of the
sale and they will not be inspected.
9(o) Only one handler per sheep to be allowed in the show ring at official
shows and sales.
9(p) The Jacob Sheep Society, its officers, trustees and servants, shall not
be held responsible for any accident, damage or loss however caused.
Anyone attending a sale or other event held by or on behalf of the Jacob
Sheep Society shall indemnify the Society from and against all actions,
suits, expenses and claims on account of or in respect of any such
damage or injury which may be so caused.
Rules relating to this Show & Sale in particular:
A vendor may only show 2 sheep in each class.
