The person named originally declared thirty two breeding ewes on their 2010 sheep census declaration and was paid accordingly. Subsequently, an additional census form was received on reducing the number of breeding ewes declared by the applicant to zero. The case was recalculated based on the more recent declaration and payments adjusted accordingly.
