The Suckler Carbon Efficiency Programme (SCEP) has a number of key requirements, one of which is the weighing of cow and calf pairs on your farm.

As part of the programme, participants must weigh at least 80% of eligible animals born on the holding of the yearly reference number in each scheme year and their dams and submit the weights to the Irish Cattle Breeding Federation (ICBF).
