SUCKLER WELFARE SCHEME CONUNDRUM

Western Pomise

HI suckler farmers,
I do the books for elderly neighbour sometimes....he has weanlings eating krunch for a month but is only asking me now to send form away now...can I put down for him that thay are that long eating or should he have sent it back quicker?...I couldnt see anywhere on form that said when it had to be back by...
also he sold a few calves with their cows in the summer in marts...can he still claim the 40 euro on them...they are still listed on his form..
thanks for any replies.

He was telling me that a neighbour told him he should have sent back form within a week of starting feeding but i cant see that on his form.

would it be easier to get him registered online and then you could put in whatever time you wanted for meal into

I do this form filling for a friend of mine - You can't claim for anything that's dead or sold as far as I know. After that I have sent in the forms up to a year after weaning and he got paid - have also got forms with calves listed that were only born a couple of months ago.

It gets confusing as one sheet often has calves born over a 12 month span.

I'm not saying what I'm doing is right or wrong but he's been getting away with it thus far anyway. this guy does the tasks correctly, he's just a horrible book-keeper.

to sum up I wouldn't stress baout the delay.

you get paid on dead calfs as long as you dispose of calf properly .

I stand corrected, is that only if the blue sheet is issued after meal feeding or weaning date?

animal events.

I do all mine online but if they do query it (because of delay etc) just be honest about the fact that you do the booking for him and he is only vague in dates of starting etc. It's not the worst bit to muck up; Not weaning before selling would be far worse. Just make sure they are kept the minimum of weeks before weaning with crunch, it's eight I think?

Thanks for advice...I presume you mean you would only get paid on a calf that died after weaning....hardly on a young calf that died in springtime?

no before weaning or at birth.
