Department rows back on proposed cap to suckler numbers in CAP Strategic Plan
The proposed cap on suckler herd sizes was first suggested by officials in August during the department’s virtual townhall meetings.
The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine has rowed back on proposals to cap suckler cow herd numbers included in the Suckler Carbon Efficiency Programme.
The restriction would have prevented suckler herds participating in the programme from increasing their stock numbers.
