The Suckler Cow Premium Scheme

The Scheme was introduced to help support the incomes of specialist beef producers. Premium is paid on suckler cows and heifers (over eight months old), forming part of a regular breeding herd used for rearing calves for meat. Milk producers actively involved in milk production, with milk quota of no more than 180,000kg ( 174,780 litres) on 31 March may also claim SCP as small milk producers.
