They may be eligible but not have a genotype taken in which case you'll have to pay the €22 per cow to test them. Double check the eligibility date also, I think its 2016, older than that and they won't be eligible

Of course they then chose the crackers heifers with the final selections a fortnight ago so I changed to three pb bulls for hair samples instead. Was doing Rambo moves out the field to get them all and only got the last fella Monday & sent them off today. Find the hair samples much easier if you've halfway quiet cattle. Get the calves while sucking or sneak up on them quietly.
