Members of BDG’s can elect to have a herd/flock plan prepared by their PVP following a template plan. PVP are paid a direct fee for preparation of the plan paid by CAFRE on receipt of a completed plan. Some basic blood analysis are also covered with the farmer being reimbursed this cost on confirmation the test results have been reported.

BDG members have to indicate their interest to CAFRE initially and CAFRE will notify the practices of their interest.
