Base price wrote: » I got an email from them during the week saying that they are one of the approved labs and stating that "testing could cost as little as €1 per sample, giving you maximum profit of €9 per animal tested" "Full payment for testing (and/or kits and courier) must be paid in full prior to testing commencing." Contact them for more information.

Justjens wrote: » Pretty sure it was €25 a pop and I was to do 10, easy to check next week. I was a bit lost for words so I may have taken them up wrong, but it's hard to see them charging €25 for the lot when they include containers and shipping costs (both ways I think). If anyone else gets a better quote let us know ;)

Not sure why I’d send off 10 separate samples when this is format of the results? I’ve emailed them back to see if I need to do anything else for BEEP or do they do it, I can’t see anything on the ICBF website for inputting results. I’ve also asked for the individual results For completeness, the only thing missing off the test results below is my address and herd number

If I weigh them today could I sell them next week for example? I tried ringing Portlaoise but they aren't taking any calls on Beep s due to Covid only emails. Thanks
