The person named has 16 animals for consideration under the 2008 Suckler Welfare Scheme. Payment has issued for ten of the animals. The remaining six animals were rejected for payment as they were registered outside the 27-day limit under the scheme. The other three animals are awaiting disbudding details, and one of these three also has a query as its dam was slaughtered before the date of weaning. Two query letters issued to the person named on 19 June 2009. Due to an administrative error, earlier notification regarding the six animals in question did not take place.
