Two more boats of Irish bulls will be exported before the year end.

Curzon Livestock will send a boat to Libya early next month.

It is now looking for Friesian bulls of 200kg to 320kg.

The consignment will also include beef breed bulls of around 600kg. The firm loaded an approved livestock vessel last week and that shipment is now en-route to Libya.

Bulls for export

Viastar has already begun buying bulls for export to Turkey and will shortly place the stock in quarantine.

This will be the firm’s third shipment to Turkey since the start of the autumn.
