UK Sheep Breeding Stock Exports Resume
The first shipments of breeding ewes have already gone to the EU following the resumption of live exports.
Some 700 breeding ewes, mostly Mules from the North of England, were due to go to France and the Netherlands over the Christmas period.
These orders are a direct result from the presence of the English Beef and Lamb Executive (EBLEX) at the SheepTec and SIA fairs earlier in the year (2007) supported by the hard work of the pedigree sheep breeders.
