The person named registered thirteen animals under the 2014 Beef Data Programme. Payment has issued in respect of seven animals. The remaining six animals were ineligible for the Programme and as such no payment issued. Three were registered outside the required 27 day timeframe for registering animals with the Department’s Registration Agency. The remaining three animals were sold within the required 5 month retention period.

My Department wrote to the person named on 20 October 2015 outlining the position regarding the six unpaid animals. This letter provided the person named with an opportunity to appeal. The person named subsequently appealed the decision in a letter dated 9 November 2015. A letter has issued to the person named upholding the original decision.
