The closing date for receipt of applications for Ewe Premium quota from the National Reserve was 17 September 1993. Approximately 10,300 applications have been received and these are now being procesed by my Department. As soon as all the applications are processed which is expected to take a further 6-8 weeks successful applicants will be notified of the quota allocated to them.
