The person named submitted two applications under the 2004 special beef premium-bull premium scheme in respect of a total of six animals. The first application, in respect of one animal, was received on 12 October 2004. The second application, in respect of five animals, was received on 21 October 2004. Following computer validation, it was found that the animal included on the first application and two of the animals included on the second application were ineligible on the date of application in that they were too young. However, following review it is now proposed to consider these animals for premia, effective from the dates from which they became eligible for the scheme. Provided these animals are found to comply otherwise with the scheme requirements, payment will issue in due course.
