tanko wrote: » That happens every year i find. Just checked my own there now, half the samples i posted are verified, the other half are sample in lab even though they were posted the same day. Maybe the DNA in some animals is easier to work out than others, it's the only reason i can think of.

Even though my reference is 8 cows for the scheme, I have 10 cows at present-I still can’t sell-every calf has to be kept 5 months. Must be the worst scheme ever to hit Irish farmers.

Above is the link to the Terms/Conditions of the infamous BDGP. I also attended the training course and information meeting in my locality for the scheme also. If youre still unsure of anything after reading the T/Cs give one of the women in the Dept in Portlaois a buzz, their very helpful

I’m compliant in every other part of this scheme - any know what type of penalty I might be looking at ?

Was the incentive for me to switch to all AI, and try upping my game. No doubt in my mind that the 4 and 5 star cows are significantly better breeders than the lower cohort!!!
