The OCDS Producers' Handbook is available using the link to the left. Please note this was amended on 5th April 2006 to reflect scheme eligibility criteria.
You will wish to note that the Older Cattle Disposal Scheme came to an end on 31 December 2008.
Therefore the OCDS Helpline has now been closed. If you have a query regarding a rejected OCDS animal please use the telephone number provided at the top of your rejection letter.
Now that the OCDS has come to an end the only means of disposing of animals born before 1st August 1996 is via the Fallen Stock route. These animals are not eligible for the food chain and costs of the disposal rests with the producer.
