The processing of applications under the Beef Data Programme is at an advanced stage. Payments under the Programme will commence next week. Under the Programme, farmers who participate are required to submit the required data on suckler cows and their calves after birth and again after the calves are weaned. The level of participation in the Beef Data Programme increased by 21% to 32,300 participants in 2014.
