And why wouldn't they be?? The 330,000 head of prime cattle finished on dairy farms were used as justification to the EU for funding by the govt. Why should a dairy farmer that finishes Angus, Hereford, limousin etc be excluded??

Why don’t they increase the €100 to €120 and the €40 to €50 to all those those that applied. End of story. And I’d be happy.

I don’t see why they shouldn’t, it was offered to the ‘beef only’ men, and they didn’t want it...

Will they ask the dairy men to reduce nitrates if so then no problem

suppose there is no chance they will treat beef in the same way as dairy was in the quota days... ie if the country is under quota then no penalties... so if there were 5% less sucklers in the country then regardless of what happen in individual herds there would be no penalty...

Probably because it was the finisher who took the biggest beating last winter and he will pass it back to the suckler man this autumn anyway.

what about farmers not in quantity assurance or glas scheme ???????

exactly and who will the suckler man pass it to, no one because he’s the man that keeps the cow for 12 mts and the calf for 8/9 mts and gets offered 40e ****ing euro for his trouble .What a ****ing joke any suckler farmer that signed up to that needs his head examined

The only thing the finisher passes back is low prices.
Don’t finishers work off a margin, the poor suckler farmer is nailed straight away :-(

Suckler farmers should be aiming for good U grade 300-350kg to go on the boat

Agree €40 isn’t much
but with lots reducing or exiting it might help

If you agree to join the Bord Bia QA scheme now or are in the BDGP that will qualify you for the BEAM scheme.
Im not sure if the BEEP scheme qualifies a farmer for BEAM.

anyone i have meet who are in those schemes say they are a waste of time

Is not signing up going to increase the payment?

Less is more in the suckler game now I think

Reps,glas, bdgp, beep, beam etc.....keep em coming...won't make it out of selling weanlings anyway

A farmer with off farm employment and maybe getting €20+/hr probably sees it as not worth their while, but they're useful top ups if you're not so lucky.
I can't believe there's relief milkers working for €50 but if you need it it's not to be belittlled, every little helps.

Would consider them useful top ups regardless of off farm income but I hear what you are saying

Better chance of getting money with those schemes than hoping for a price increase on produce

Has anyone successfully appealed a BEAM scheme application where they sent animals to a mart which were bought by a dealer or an agent and killed within 30 days of purchase?

Butcher Boy

Heard today from a man in the know that it might not be paid out until next january,

Jayus I heard different again from a man in the know. I heard that it will be paid out in the first two week in December and there ill be a 42% top up because of the lads that did not apply.

TBH I ignore lads in the know.

Does anyone know for sure if animals sold in a mart which are bought by a factory agent or dealer and killed within 30 days of sale are eligible for the €100/head payment to the farmer who sold them in the mart?

Checked there, have been paid on the calves alrite.
Think i should get paid on some cows i sold in the mart that were killed soon after but haven't been. Was just wondering has anyone been paid for animals they sold in the mart which were killed within a month?

Nor here

Looked into the exceptional aid measures section on agfood. Can see the application for the first time in a while and it says ready for prepayment validation. So they must be getting ready to pay soon
