EC 14: Herd scheme
or “Rules for valuing farm animals using the herd scheme”
You could also call this:

“How the Commissioner sets yearly average market values for farm animals”

The Commissioner must decide on a national average market value each year for different types of farm animals. You can find the list of these animal types in schedule 17. This value applies to the whole year, even if the Commissioner decides on it after the year has started.

When the Commissioner makes this decision, it becomes a type of law called secondary legislation. You can find out more about how this type of law is published in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
