Live cattle exports to non-EU markets look set to resume at modest levels after a lull of some weeks.
A boatload of slaughter weight bulls will leave Cork Port for Libya in three weeks’ time.
The order is being filled by Curzon Livestock. The Cork firm sent a number of boatloads to this market earlier this year, the last one arriving in August.

Latest shipment
The latest shipment will include Friesian, Angus, Hereford and Continental bulls in the weight range of 400kg to 460kg. The firm has bought a significant share of the cattle already. It is hopeful that orders will be agreed for further boatloads over the coming months.
Meanwhile, one other prominent exporter has begun assembling light bulls, possibly for Turkey.
The Turkish lira has strengthened in recent weeks and is now trading at just under six lira to €1 for the first time since August.
