Can I export male dairy calves abroad from UK?

Question

Just wanted to know is it possible to export calves from UK to Europe countries. Really would appreciate for an answer. I would rather do that than see them being shot just after they are born. Thank you very much! Mr Albert Myrtaj

Answer

you can in principle sell calves to a trade partner in Europe. have you got a partner there already? if not, you may not be aware that the treatment of calves in Europe may be worse than in the UK as calves meat is more popular? if you have a partner who will look after the calves then check out the DEFRA website on exporting livestock to Europe: http://www.defra.gov.uk/animal-trade/eu/
