Older Cattle Disposal Scheme - last chance to book

The Older Cattle Disposal Scheme (OCDS) is due to end on 31st December 2008 and the RPA had orginally announced that the OCDS slaughter booking system would close on 30th September. However, after further analysis by the RPA, it seems that there is further slaughter capacity available and the RPA is encouraging farmers to book as a matter of urgency. Further information is available on the RPA website. A website showing slaughter slot availability at abattoirs can be found by clicking here.
