cattle that are in the livestock class of 1-2 year old steers at the start of year 2 are sold in August of year 2 when they are in the livestock class of 2-3 year old steers. Some of the animals had been in the herd for the whole of year 1, while others had been purchased in March of year 1 as steers less than one year old.
At the start of year 2, the animals form an input group requiring an average weight to be entered into the Calculator for the start of year 2. They could be divided into two weighing groups based on their history. The animals that had been in the herd for the whole of year 1 can be taken to have the average weight of 1-2 year-old steers that were entered into the Calculator for paragraph 2(d) of Schedule 1 at the end of the previous year. The rest of the animals can be taken to have the average weight that the under one year olds purchased in March of year 1 had reached by the end of that year, as entered into the Calculator for paragraph 6(b) of Schedule 1.
Example 2: A project proponent could collect all the data required for input weights as follows:
                • within 6 weeks before or after the start of the first assessment year, take weights or sample weights of each livestock class (possibly relying on paragraph 1(c) and subsection (9))
                • ensure that weights are recorded in the sale records or receipts for each sale or purchase
                • within 6 weeks before or after the end of each assessment year, take weights or sample weights of each livestock class in the resident herd and in each group of animals that entered the herd during the year (possibly relying on paragraph 1(c) and subsection (10)).
Time of weighing—assessment days
 (2) For an input date that is an assessment day, if average liveweight is to be ascertained under paragraph (1)(a), (b) or (c), the weighing must be done within the following periods:
 (a) for the first assessment day and last assessment day (beginning of the first assessment year and end of the last assessment year)—within 2 weeks before or after the assessment day;
 (b) for any other assessment day—within 6 weeks before or after the assessment day.
Time of weighing—other input dates
 (3) For an input date that is not an assessment day, if average liveweight is to be ascertained under paragraph (1)(a), (b) or (c), the weighing must be done within the monthly period in which the input date falls.
Note: Subsections (2) and (3) are not relevant where the project proponent is using weights in
