For applicants under the Suckler Welfare Scheme, the temporary movement of an animal will not result in the loss of payment, where it relates to an agricultural show, or for the purposes of the live animal display at the compulsory training courses for applicants. The movement from and back to the holding must be recorded on my Department's Animal Identification and Movement System (AIM), and must take place on the same day.
