About BEEP-S

The Beef Environmental Efficiency Programme Sucklers scheme (BEEP-S) was launched on March 12th 2020. The scheme will target the weaning efficiency of suckler cows and calves - measuring the live weight of the calf at weaning as a percentage of the cow's live weight. Aidan Murray , Teagasc Beef Specialist joins Catherine Egan to discuss the new €35 million BEEP suckler scheme.

If programme participants complete all of the mandatory and optional actions available, they will be eligible for a payment of up to €90 for the first ten suckler cow/calf pairs per herd, and up to €80 per pair thereafter, subject to an overall maximum of 100 pairs per herd

 

Programme actions are as follows:

Mandatory weighing action: €50 per first ten cow/calf weighing per herd (and €40 per cow/calf weighing thereafter). This action measures the ratio of calf weight at weaning to maternal weight, enabling farmers to “readily identify” their most economic and environmentally efficient suckler cows in their herd;

Optional action: €30 for an additional welfare action, with a choice of either a vaccination programme or a pre-weaning meal feeding programme.

Optional action: €10 for a further option – participation in a faecal egg testing programme.

The deadline to apply is the 15th May 2020.
