The primary compensation scheme for farmers whose herds are affected by TB is the On-Farm Market Valuation Scheme under which compensation is payable for cattle removed as reactors.
My officials have informed me that the herdowner in question entered a breakdown on 18th January 2024 and has had 20 reactor animals removed to date. The herdowner is due to receive two separate payments under the On Farm Market Valuation scheme in respect of animals valued for removal under the scheme. Both of these payments are currently undergoing pre-payment validation checks and are due to be issued to the nominated account of the herdowner shortly.
