Curzon Livestock has signed contracts to export slaughter-weight bulls to Libya.
The Co Cork company, owned by James Horgan, will export Friesian bulls of 400kg to 500kg liveweight and beef bulls of 500kg to 600kg. It will also export in-calf heifers for sale to Libyan farmers for breeding purposes.
The Libyan authorities are keen to expand their domestic production, but, in the short term, need significant imports of livestock and meat.

Curzon will begin buying cattle this week and expects to load its first shipment of over 3,000 head in late July from Cork Port.
Following this, the firm will send regular shipments under what is an ongoing contract, James Horgan said.
