I think you can, but the slaughterhouse should be the last drop off point. If in doubt just phone animal health/trading standards for confirmation.

 Sheep going to slaughter are not affected by movements on to a holding so could go for slaughter after you have dropped off the other 3.  The movement restriction would be for the holding you take the 3 to, even though the single sheep was not unloaded there.  But yes, check with AH or SAMU, depending on where you live.
