A heifer introduced into a herd after calving will, subject to compliance with the conditions of the Scheme and provided that there is satisfactory evidence of a genuine transfer of ownership, be eligible for payment of grant in that herd under the Scheme of Grants for Calved Heifers. This concession will not apply, however, to calved heifers coming from Northern Ireland.
