The Beef Exceptional Aid Measure (BEAM) closes to applications on Sunday 8 September, with a payment of €100 per animal available.
The Irish Co-operative Organisation Society (ICOS) has warned farmers to check the onward slaughter date of animals sold in order to avoid missing out.
Ray Doyle of ICOS advised: “Where an animal has been presented for slaughter by an agent or dealer within 30 days of purchase, including those purchased in the mart, payment may be made to the immediate previous herd owner.

“The message is to check your entitlement now. You can do this through your agfood.ie profile, but you must act now.”
