Amharc ar fhreagraThe person named registered 20 animals under the 2012 Suckler Cow Welfare Scheme. Following the completion of the validation process, twenty were eligible for payment. A set of twin calves was born to a cow in this herd in 2012 and as payment is made for each cow only one payment can be made in respect of the twin calves. The remaining animal is ineligible for payment based on information provided by the person named. Payment in respect of twenty eligible animals will issue to the named person in the near future.
