Don’t forget to record SCEP Survey Data

With all the change and confusion over the EuroStar Indices in recent weeks and the focus on meeting the 50% female replacement requirement in SCEP, it's important farmers don't overlook the need to complete the survey data on the calves and suckler cows.

This data can be recorded online using the SCEP tab on ICBF HerdPlus or you can request a paper form, which will have to be filled out and returned to ICBF. You should have received a pocket notebook from ICBF, which will allow you to record the data when you are on the farm.
