Title: Sheep Transporter Needed
Post by: AlexInLincs on February 15, 2011, 02:25:35 pm

I have found a small flock (3 ewes and a ram) that I need transporting from East Sussex to North Lincolnshire.  Can anyone recommend a company/person to do this and what should I expect to pay?

Thanks

Or quite often the seller if its a business will deliver for generous mileage and normally has the requisite transport cert for journeys over 50 odd km. If its not a business then you dont need the cert but for peace of mind you may prefer someone else to get them for you. Or ask at a local livestock auction one end or the other of the route.
