Sheep census

When you complete these are you automatically entitled to various subsidies or do you need to apply later yourself for these

No u still have to apply for relevant schemes. Having being a completed census is just a minimum pre condition

Thanks, is there much worth applying for at the moment

Tried to log in to Agfood this evening to do Sheep Census and it’s offline🙄

’System down for essential maintenance’…….they really pick their timing well to do this.

Just got my flock number this week and looking to buy a few sheep. I was just wondering do I enter the number of ewes I will have on the farm when I complete the online census or was I supposed to have sheep on the farm on the 31st December? Also, are these the figures the department use to calculate your stocking rate for the year? Thanks.

it was the number of sheep on your holding on the 31st of dec
