The Beef Data and Genomics Scheme closed for applications on the 5^thJune. Approximately 30,000 applications were received by the closing date. Initial processing has been completed and I expect that approval letters will issue shortly. The information requested is not yet available but is currently being compiled. It will be forwarded to the Deputy directly as soon as it is finalised.
