How to apply for LP and SP awards
Automatic scheme:
· Awards will be issued automatically to those herds which join the automatic
scheme.
· This means that when the Society receives the milk records from your milk
recording authority they are checked for eligibility and the awards are made
accordingly.
· No individual certificates will be issued but you will receive a summary
sheet each month of your animals that have qualified.
· A charge of £1.13 (plus VAT as appropriate) will be invoiced for each LP and
SP made.
Manual scheme:
· Members may apply manually for the LP and SP awards, but these will be
subject to a fee of £1.13 (plus VAT as appropriate) to cover additional
administration.
· If you would like to join the automatic LP and SP scheme, please contact membership
services 01923 695200 or email susanboughton@holstein-uk.org.
· Please note that applications can only be accepted from members who have a
direct debit arrangement with the Society.
