Mr. Pat McCormack:

If they are under 36 months they are OK. There is a target among the Food Vision beef and sheep group that we should be calving them under 24 months. If a farmer's practice is to calve and sell, then this is another cost.

I refer to compensation for individual animals, particularly for pedigree herds and maybe for other herds. Farmers need to realise the sale value that is attainable for this stock. In particular, if you have a multiple outbreak where multiple valuable animals have gone down as reactors, then all of those animals should be compensated for.

The Deputy mentioned using three rolls of barbed wire but I do not know what would keep out a deer. We lobbied in this round of TAMS for funding for deer fencing, which is critical.
