Ms Susan Kearney:

We value the stock at market value as set out in our market policy. At the bottom of page 89, under the heading "2.11 Inventory", it states:

Livestock and own farm produce are valued at the fair value model. Fair value is determined on the basis that animals are sold on the open market. Gains and losses, which arise from these valuations, are reflected in full in operational income.
