My Department provides financial support measures for farmers under the Bovine Viral Diarrhoea programme (BVD).  Payment is contingent on disposal of all persistently infected (PI) animals born in the herd within timeframes set down in the Terms and Conditions.  For Dairy herd animals born in 2015, payment is only available in respect of dairy breed heifer calves, no supports are available for cross breed calves.  The animal to which the herdowner refers is a female dairy cross calf, therefore no payment is due.
