The Suckler Welfare Scheme was a five year scheme which concluded with animals born during 2012. The person named submitted a 2014 Beef Data Programme/Beef Genomics Scheme application on 19 March 2014. Payment under the 2014 Beef Genomics Scheme issued in full directly to the bank account of the person named on 16 December 2014. Payments under the 2014 Beef Data Programme will commence in June 2015. Twenty one animals were registered under the 2013 Beef Data Programme and payment issued in respect of fourteen of these animals in June 2014. Payment in respect of five other animals will be issue d to the applicant shortly. The sire number for the remaining two animals was not provided and, therefore, these animals are ineligible for payment under the Terms and Conditions of the Programme.
