New selection process for actions in sheep welfare scheme
Participating farmers must select two actions from a category A listing with the third action from a category B listing being optional, writes Darren Carty.

The application portal for the 2025 National Sheep Welfare Scheme (NSWS) opened this week and will remain open until 23.59pm on 15 May 2025.
The national exchequer-funded scheme has an increased budget of €22m for 2025 offering farmers the chance to draw down an additional €5 per ewe payment, bringing the total possible payment to €13 per ewe.
The potential for a higher payment and the addition of another action has changed the selection process.
Participating farmers must select two mandatory actions from a Category A listing including shearing, body condition scoring of ewes with appropriate follow-on management and clostridial vaccination of ewes (or lambs if ewes are already vaccinated).
