AA Bonus and Quality Assurance

Tomjim

So the AA bonus is 20 cent at the moment. Do you receive the QA of 20 cent on top of that ie a total of 40 cent?

To get both the AA bonus must the animal be QA

Do you need to be a member of a society or is it a particular factory that offers the extra 20c on an Angus bullock?

No but they take fees from you at factory to support the scheme.

Around 6/head is the typical Angus scheme charge in the deductions

This Hereford bonus with Dawn, is it handy enough to get into, most of what I've bought this year are HEX and a 20c bonus sounds good.

Says you need to have a pedigree bull as sire, how do I check this as they're all from dairy herds from the mart.

Dawn Meats just announced their new breed bonus scheme too.

You'd need to check the ICBF for the name of the sire and run it that way i'd imagine. No way of telling from the cards.

If its HEx on the card they are eligible for it

I sent some cattle to ABP there last week.

I got an AAX bonus but got nothing on 2 HEX I sent down.

Is there no HEX bonus at the moment or should I be calling them up over it?

epfff

There should be he bonus I'd be calling.

But from experience you didn't qualify because it was raining and the wind was under 5 km per hour while the lorry was stoped at traffic lights and the driver's hair was cut too short on a Tuesday last July or something like that.
