Dr. Andrew Cromie:

In the BDGP reports that we sent to 27,500 farmers, we gave an indication of the four-star and five-star females on the farm. Those reports were very clear that any subsequent definition of eligibility would be based on animals that were four-star and five-star and had been genotyped.
