Cattle hauliers Truro.

[Samcowman]

Due to our impending move this summer I’m pricing up cattle hauliers to haul our stock down to just north of Truro and am looking for hauliers in the area.
I have spoken to Ellis, Daveys and Trevarthens. Is there anyone else that would be recommended that I have missed. Would be a couple of artic loads.
Thank you.

I'd go with Lisa at Daveys. Always an excellent service

+1. Very good.

Lisa Davey or David Ellis I would say, I use Lisa and can’t fault their professionalism, they are always running up north and would be able to do backloads and run artics, trevarthans don’t run artics. Isn’t there anyone else up you way that would come down? Cattle always travel better on artics than lorry and drag.

Trevor Sandiford Haulage Ltd. Absolutely top drawer. Been using them for years for all my calves, reared calves from Meadow Quality.

Lisa did seem good on the phone likewise David.
I was going round the Cornish ones first as they are more likely to be up here than my local ones down there meaning there would be a better chance of a backload. Also can’t get an artic into the farm so would need a rigid to do the final bit.

If you want one half way then Martyn Baker is based right on Tiverton junction by M5 and runs a lot of stock lorries ?.

If you look at a cattle sales catalogue on Kivells (Auctioneers) website, there will be a list of hauliers

Iv moved our milking herd plus all other stock to two different farms, Davey's have done it, three artics and four lorrys on our last move, (think white red Ellis lorry helped) top class firm to deal with, delt with father and now recently daughter, spot on, I'd happily pay extra £5 a head and now it's done right.

Where are you heading to in Truro?

I’d go for Lisa. She would be able to tie together the lorry changeover. I’d think she would be the most reasonably priced out those mentioned above. Are you moving to the Duchy farm just outside Truro?

Give Cornish Quality Livestock a call, they'll have lorries going up country regularly and might be able to recommend someone who'll have a back load

It’s a lovely area to farm. An it’s strong land. I know the area well. You will have some nice neighbours to. Best of luck on the move.

Daily more like!

Their lorry's are all over the country every day of the week and weekends, nothing for them to move 400 dairy cows in one day from Kent to say Exeter Market for a dispersal sale for example.

Must be a great feeling knowing you are coming to the promised land
Just put the jam on first and you will fit right in.
Good luck with the move, there was some VERY stiff competition for that farm

Another vote for Daveys here, Lisa is excellent., did a couple of loads out of the south west last year for me.

I always go jam first for practicality reasons. The boss prefers cream first. Buts she’s a wrongun.
