Mr. Bill Callanan:

Yes, we are looking at that. From the point of view of breeding, we had to find creative bands that would not encourage such a practice. Farmers are at 6,500 kg before they go into the upper band. That is the major change. In the two lower bands, there is not a major change from the existing 89 kg per hectare, so for those categories there is not as big a change compared with the top-end band. Certainly, if farmers are thinking of trying to manage their herd profile out of that band, I do not believe there is a need in respect of certain breeds to which people might allude and which are required to generate that. We have plenty of capacity within our own breeding programmes to pick animals that ensure fertility, longevity and a focus on milk solids, which is available under the structure that has been put in place. Farmers are paid on milk solids to increase the solids as a percentage of the volume of milk produced. All those things were factored into our consideration as to how to structure this while minimising the negative aspects and recognising where the majority are at. I accept that it is hard in respect of the 15% in the high category. The science justifies the numbers associated with that, but the structure we have put in place has minimised the number in that category and created an opportunity to focus on improving solids, etc., within farmers' profiles, which is what they get paid for, over litres. That is all I will say about it.
