Selecting & sourcing livestock
Our experienced staff can arrange visits to farms to view and select livestock. They can also organise hotel accommodation. Alongside sourcing livestock in the UK and Ireland, members of our team are frequent visitors to continental Europe. Austria for example, is a fantastic place to source Fleckvieh.
Once the dairy cattle have been selected, we can arrange transportation and ensure that the livestock are well looked after during transit. Our stringent procedures meet all Department of Agriculture rules and requirements. Distance is no object. We have even arranged for cattle to be safely transported to the Middle East!

Different breeds available
Holstein cattle are often popular with high production dairy farmers. Our in-house delivery systems throughout Europe enable us to supply this breed quickly and competitively.
Grass based systems are better served by British Friesian, NZ Friesian and Jersey crosses. The Irish Friesian/Holstein cow is a top seller for the grazing enthusiast and a specialty for us.
