⚠️Flystrike HIGH RISK⚠️

Warning graphic images❕

With the variable weather patterns we are seeing increasing numbers of flystrike cases in livestock at the moment.

Strike occurs after flies lay eggs on fleece or wounds that hatch into larvae or ‘maggots’. Flies can lay up batches of 200 eggs at one time. The larvae can cause significant damage to animals with the initial signs of itching, restlessness, swishing of tail and nibbling.

What can we do?

✅ apply preventative products
✅ keep clean, reduce dirty backends; including clipping away fleece
✅ keep on top of parasite control and treat wounds/any lameness promptly
✅ monitor animals daily for signs of strike and treat promptly

For any advice on preventative treatments or issues with strike contact our vets today on 01786 430 387 📞

Please help spread the word. We will still be at the show and look forward to seeing you there on foot.

🚫🐴 HORSES CANCELLED 🐴🚫

📢 The Committee met on site last night and after surveying the ground conditions, took the very difficult decision to cancel all horse sections (including Clydesdales). The weather hasn’t been the kindest with its downpours.

💬 We hope all horse exhibitors understand and support the decision, who are all very much welcomed along to enjoy a day out still! 🎪

Any help to spread the word, would be greatly appreciated.

❤️Our show is famous for being nestled in the heart of the Stirling Carse and for being one of the most spirited little local shows with the very best atmosphere!

ℹ️ ALL OTHER LIVESTOCK & VINTAGE VEHICLE CLASSES (AND GENERAL ENTERTAINMENT WILL GO AHEAD AS NORMAL)

This photograph is from 2023’s pre-show evening (last year).

Come along and show your dog in the dog show, or enter some baking / arts!! 🐶🐕🥧🥧🎨
Message our page if you have any queries! ☺️
