[QUOTE="Hfd Cattle, post: 9274941, member: 64714"] Extensification payment was a payment paid to keep stocking levels down below a certain livestock unit , I think it was one unit per acre. You could also get it by not claiming on all 'cards' ie ,with steers just claim on the green and sell on the blue or if you were getting suckler cow premium then ,at the time, it would have paid to sell on the green to get a higher level of Extensification payment . This was all controlled by how many foragec acres you had to put your claim against . ....however, as [USER=3575]@Hilly[/USER] said earlier it all came back to bite those that claimed it as when your historic payments came jn to play it meant that your 'set' payment was disadvantaged and you would have been better off claiming on all cards . The slaughter premium eventually got to £50 a head up the animals had to be on your holding for a minimum of 8 wks . It was a good thing . We used to buy cattle on a red card keep for 8 weeks minimum and put into the fat , it worked well ,especially in the summer when you could get them fat enough by running into the shed every day for a sniff of barley.
