SERVICES
General Haulage
We offer our customers a complete livestock transport service as we look after the whole process for farmers. We take great pride in providing a professional livestock transport service which comes from nearly 65 years’ experience in the business. Every animal is transported with great care, guaranteeing a safe and comfortable journey. A strong emphasis on animal welfare ensures that cattle are stress-free during their journey. We fully understand the needs of the livestock we are transporting. Each of our drivers holds a Certificate of Competence and has many years of experience in livestock handling.
We currently run a fleet of five trucks and have a variety of livestock trailers which include single, double and treble-deck allowing us to meet customer requirements. In addition to the above trailers we also have flatbed, bulk and curtain side trailers.
EXPOrting
In 2006 we opened our first EU approved export assembly centre allowing us to export cattle to the ROI and UK mainland. Then at the beginning of 2015 we opened our second EU approved export assembly centre enabling us to export Holstein/Friesian calves from Northern Ireland to Spain. This new centre is a specifically designed facility which can hold up to 350 calves or a smaller number of weanlings and larger cattle. We also are equipped for the exporting of sheep. We take care of the whole process for the purchaser, from when the farmer/agent purchases the store cattle from the livestock marts we haul, export and deliver them to the UK.
Both assembly centres meet all the management and welfare needs of stock. The animals can be bedded and fed in conditions that maximise their comfort levels. Both are designed in such a way that the off-loading and onward shipping can be achieved in the minimal amount of time or without putting stress on the stock or the team of operators at the centre. We also look after all the relevant paperwork and certify the animals as fit for export. Our job is to make life as easy as possible for our all our customers.
STRAW
We are suppliers of straw (barley and wheat), woodchip and a number of alternative feeds. The straw is drawn from our regular suppliers in the South of Ireland each autumn and sold to farmers across Northern Ireland for bedding and feeding purposes.
