UNTIL THE END OF THE YEAR THE GOVERNMENT HAS AGREED THAT THESE ANIMALS CAN GO INTO THE OVER THIRTY MONTH SCHEME. THIS WILL PROVIDE SOME FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO THE MARKET.

WE WILL REQUIRE ALL CATTLE TO HAVE THEIR OTMS FORMS FILLED IN, IN CASE WHEN THEY GO THROUGH THE AUCTION THEY DO NOT MAKE THE RESERVE PRICE. THEY WILL THEN SIMPLY BE PUT INTO THE OTMS SCHEME FOR YOU. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL BUYERS ENQUIRE ABOUT SUCH ANIMALS AND THAT’S OUR INTENTION TO HAVE A SUCESSFUL AUCTION ONCE AGAIN.

IT WOULD HELP US IF YOU BOOKED IN THE OVER THIRTY MONTHS CATTLE FOR A NUMBER OF WEEKS SO THAT WE CAN BOOK PLACES IF NECESSARY AT ABATTOIRS THAT DEAL WITH THE CULL.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT ANIMALS BORN BEFORE 1996 WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE TO GO INTO THE FOOD CHAIN EVEN WITH THESE CHANGES AND THESE MUST JUST BE BOOKED IN FOR OUR NORMAL OTMS COLLECTION WHICH WILL BE ON THE MONDAY AND ON THE SAME DAY AS OUR OVER THIRTY MONTH AUCTION.
