Is it possible to have the larger 'landrover' wheels on a tri-axle?
On a hot day, on a long journey the larger wheels would not be at risk of heating up so much.

250 miles each way? I do fair mileage in our lorry but I'd use a haulier for that.
Cost a fortune in tyres on that tri axle Gamic with the wheels on the outside pulled by the Isuzu/Navarra pick up doing 20/gallon. If you are moving heifers by a nice limmy bull you will do less mpg than some by the Angus ( the pot bellies act like hot air balloons
and make them lighter too tow)
Might as well be ready for Brexit and buy an old 3.5t pickup (Nissan cabstar/ Mitsubishi canter) and put a few wooden rails round it for a body too hold the heifers on. Once the regs get reduced you will be blown in.
sorry I couldn't think of a way to bring hitler into it.

We would be regular trips to select/buy 2-4 head so it makes sense to kill 2 birds esp as we can go door to door and not mix stock

At 250 miles from Anglesey are you planning to invade Poland?

Your inoculations had better be good for the bugs up here.
Oh, and for goodness sake bring a 3 axle trailer
Get one of these without decks,buy two cattle division gates so if partly full you can gate the cattle to just forward of the axles centred.
Tows well with bigger wheels than a tri and more capacity KG wise as slightly lighter due to one less axle.
Shouldn‘t push straight as much as a tri on roundabouts etc.

sometimes borrow a tri axle and biggest problem i find is lack of weight transfer for slippery lanes or setting off on a steep incline, myself i prefer two wheels underneath as much easier to keep wheels on the tar when meeting folkon single track roads
