A letter issued to the above herdowner on the 27th of February 2018 informing him of a test that was due to be carried out on his herd by the 06th of April 2018. The test was originally due to be paid for by my Department, however as the test was not completed by the due date of the 06th of April, as per my Department's policy, the farmer was charged for the completion of the test. This policy was clearly laid out in the letter which issued to the farmer on the 27th of February. The test was not completed until the 26th of November 2018.
