Tup Transport needed - Lockerby to East Mids

[Sandpit Farm]

Just trying to get a tup down from Lockerby to Rutland. If anybody is travelling south with a clean trailer from that neck of the woods, it'd be great if we could link up and cover some costs etc. He is MV so couldn't really travel with non MV animals. We need him for about 1st December.

Any ideas?

If you can't find a farmer that just happens to be passing, it might be worth giving MD Workman's a call. They are in Ireland but are coming over at least once a week, down through the UK and over to the continent and back. If they had room, they would stick him in one section of the lorry, even if it meant someone having to meet the lorry somewhere.

They generally go out of their way to accommodate, especially if they've got a month's window to shift him.

Thanks so much. I think this may just do the trick. Spoke with Malcolm and he knows both farms so that’s perfect.
