This schedule has no associated Executive Note

PART ICALCULATION OF LIVESTOCK UNITS

For the purposes of part II of this Schedule, the total LFASS Livestock Units is calculated in accordance with the formula—

  • K = A + B + C + D + E + F + G + H + I + J

Where—

  • K is the total LFASS Livestock Units;

  • A is the number of beef cows over 24 months of age multiplied by a factor of 1.0;

  • B is the number of beef cows over 20 months up to and including 24 months of age multiplied by a factor of 0.6;

  • C is the number of breeding ewes and gimmers multiplied by a factor of 0.15;

  • D is the number of breeding female goats multiplied by a factor of 0.15;

  • E is the number of breeding female alpaca multiplied by a factor of 0.3;

  • F is the number of breeding female farmed deer (hinds aged 27 months and over) multiplied by a factor of 0.3;

  • G is the number of breeding female farmed deer (over 6 months but less than 27 months of age) multiplied by a factor of 0.2;

  • H is the number of breeding female llamas multiplied by a factor of 0.3;

  • I is, in the case of an applicant who maintains a dairy herd in the dairy ring fence area, the number of dairy cows over 24 months of age multiplied by a factor of 1.0;

  • J is, in the case of an applicant who maintains a dairy herd in the dairy ring fence area, the number of dairy cows over 20 months and up to and including 24 months of age multiplied by a factor of 0.6.

PART IICALCULATION OF STOCKING DENSITY

The stocking density is calculated in accordance with the formula—

Where—

  • S is the stocking density (to two decimal places);

  • K is the total LFASS Livestock Units calculated in accordance with part I of this Schedule;

  • L is the total number of hectares comprising the historic land area.
