Daera's website is slow this morning, aid scheme open to applications and a wet morning, a bad combination!

Yes, it will also show your eligible beef scheme claims. Really easy to do just accept the claim(s), answer a couple of questions and proceed and print off claim.

I have not checked yet, but does sheep sales show up also, or do you have to compile your own evidence for that?

One thing that would make me want to pack it in is summer testing. And that's before results day. We had a fairly good run, but the stress is still exhausting, and pitting a man's lawn with footholes doesn't help.

I had an LCT on the last week in July, it lashed with rain both the Monday and the Thursday, I just kept them in all week! Even at 4 month testing they'll be housed next time, probably be drier than July
4 month here as well, was due at the end of April and tried to get our vet to do it before turnout but they told me they weren't testing due to covid. Got closed up at the middle of June and haven't heard a dickie bird from the dept since. Anything we need rid of can go to the meat plant so I'll not be chasing them for a couple of months yet.

Surely when you had a reactor in may, your last test was under severe, and therefore you wouldnt have had and IC?
