The details requested by the Deputy are based on the number of approved breeding ewes under the Scheme. These details are not available as yet as the figures from the 2016 Sheep Census returns are still being collated. However, based on the assumption of the figure of some 2.5m breeding ewes (which is the number returned in the 2015 census), the figures requested by the Deputy are outlined in the following tables.
