I applied ok, I thought you could participate in the scheme if you had dry heifers only?

I think you need to have at least one calf born on the farm between 01 July 21 and 30 June 22.

Had you enough animals to genotype this year? You need to have a qualifying bull on the farm on June 30th this year. You have to have enough 4/5 star genotyped heifers or cows over 16 months old on October 31st this year. Carbon Navigator has to be done also.
