The Scottish Suckler Beef Support Scheme 2022 is still open for applications.

This scheme provides additional support to help maintain beef suckler herds at a level that sustains the commercial beef industry in Scotland.

The support provided will help the environmental and social benefits that arise from extensive beef suckler herds in Scotland. If you have eligible animals, please submit your claim now.

Online submission is the easiest and quickest way and it will help you avoid some simple errors such as claiming for an animal twice or entering an eartag in the wrong format.
