Data and tags for 2015 under the Beef Data and Genomics Programme (BDGP) are due today.

Speaking to the Irish Farmers Journal, a representative from the ICBF said this was a very busy time and there had been an influx of submissions in recent days.

Although the deadline is today, the representative said there may be an allowance made in some cases where a farmer experienced delays in their 2015 allocation.

If you have not yet received tissue tags, contact the ICBF on 1850-625-626 or email query@icbf.com.

Approximately half of the tags for 2016 have been distributed and the remainder will be issued in a number of weeks.
