The person named had 11 animals for consideration under the Suckler Welfare Scheme for 2009. Under the Terms and Conditions of the Scheme, meal must be provided to the calves for at least four weeks before they are weaned from their mothers. As this requirement was not complied with, the applicant is not eligible for payment. The applicant has been informed of this decision.
