    Surely if you just send cattle to factory with AAx on the card and not signed up to any scheme the bonus is far lower than the 25c/KG mentioned in the Kepak's scheme.
    Is AA pedigree and AAX is not pedigree? If so dont think too many pedigree animals would be going into the scheme

    Interested in this too. Thought you need to be part of the Irish Angus producers group?


    Best contact the producers group directly. They have a website etc. There is also an inspection process in the factory to ensure that animal is aax and not a jex

    Sorry



    TBH if it is AA on the card, the animal is polled, fullfills the colour rules and has AAX on the cards it qualifies.

    Didn't know there's colour rules. Have a white Angus calf here this year off KYA and had a couple of them off KDU over the years. Do they qualify?

    best speak with producer group link below. There are no colour rules as the calves could be black & white of Fr or HE or even ed off lime etc. one key for the inspection is the poll..as we all know of stories of smart boys adding AAx to cards when calve was really a Jex
