I have one other question, which goes back to the points made by the ICMSA. Its representatives stated they are still waiting for clarification about what cow numbers will be used to determine the band. What cow numbers are used? The Department said it has a calculator on its website. What number does the farmer enter? Is it the number for the cow or a livestock unit? The ICMSA tells us it still does not know what cow numbers are being used to calculate the bands. If the representative body does not know, I do not know how an individual farmer can get a correct calculation. Which cow numbers is the Department using?
