The person named registered twenty three animals under the 2009 Suckler Welfare Scheme. Payment has issued in respect of eight animals and a further two animals have been cleared for payment, which will issue shortly. The remaining thirteen animals have been deemed ineligible –twelve of the calves were sold before the required measures were completed, and the remaining animal was not eligible for payment as it was a twin. Payment under the Suckler Welfare Scheme is made on the dam and, therefore, in the case of twins, the dam is only entitled to benefit from one payment. The person named registered fifteen animals under the 2010 Suckler Welfare Scheme, one animal is deemed ineligible as the calf was sold before weaning was completed. The remaining fourteen animals have been processed for payment, which will issue shortly.
