An application to participate in the Beef Genomics Scheme was received from the person named on 25 March 2014. Under the Terms and Conditions of the Scheme, applicants were required to genotype test at least 15% of the animals on their herd based on the number of animals born in their herd in 2014, and return them to a Department approved laboratory. As all of the genotype samples were not received, the person named was deemed ineligible for payment under the Scheme. The person named requested a review of the decision and following consideration of the matter, the original decision was upheld. The person named has recently submitted an appeal to the Agriculture Appeals Office.
