IFA: Obstacles must not interfere with flow of live cattle to Britain

ANY obstacles being put in front of the live cattle trade to Britain must be removed and the market must be allowed to flow.

That’s the view of the Irish Farmers’ Association (IFA) which claimed there is a major potential for live exports to Britain.

Livestock Committee chairman Michael Doran said the live trade was very active this year with close on 200,000 cattle exported to date.
