Transport

This section of the NFU integrated dairy-beef contract business guide considers transport, such as how the calves will arrive at your holding and and whether they arrive sick or injured. Keep reading for a full list of considerations.

Quick links:

  1. How will the calves be transported to your holding?
  2. Will the calves arrive as a single batch?
  3. Will the vehicle(s) they are transported in be cleaned and disinfected prior to calves being loaded?
  4. Is the haulier being used assured?
  5. How long will the calves be in transit for?
  6. Who will pay for the transport of the calves?
  7. What is the protocol for the arrival of sick or injured calves due to transport?
  8. Who will pay for off movements at the end of each production cycle e.g., moving from a rearing farm to a finishing farm?
  9. What are the estimated costs of haulage if relevant to the farmer?
  10. Is the next onward destination (processing site or grower/finishing unit) confirmed when calves move on site? If not, could there be an increased haulage cost and who bears that cost?
