I am sorry for interrupting Mr. Callanan.

We spoke about this earlier. Certain breeds might have higher butter fat or higher protein. There is a fear among some in the agricultural community that certain breeds might not be as heavy milkers as some of the more Holstein-like cows. Some farmers may revert to those cows to keep under the litreage on the banding, and that could end in worse quality offspring going into the beef sector. Has the Department looked at that side of this?
