Beef management: BPS applications

Make sure to give your BPS application the time it deserves.

With recent good weather and lots of field work being completed, office work can lag behind.

With the application deadline of 15 May fast approaching, you need to sit down and make sure all details are correct on the form and the maps. There is too much money at stake to leave this until the last minute.

If changes are required, make an appointment with your adviser and outline the changes to them on the map and the form. Submitting the application online will reduce the amount of small errors which can be made with the paper application.

If you have already registered for online services for any other reason, eg registration of calves, you must fill out your application online.
