Sheep shipment nearly ready
New Zealand’s biggest live sheep shipment will leave Timaru in mid-December. A Te Awamutu-based company, Animal Enterprises, Ltd, is exporting 32,000 breeding sheep to Rumania. The consignment comprises about 22,000 Corriedales and 10,000 Coopworths. It will leave Timaru on the Rumanian-owned special sheep carrier, the Sinaia. Loading is expected to begin on December 7 and should be completed within four days. The vessel will
sail for the Rumanian port of Constansa. The sheep have been bought mainly from Canterbury farmers and marshalling has already begun at Mayfield. The managing-director of Animal Enterprises, Mr Tony Callow, would not disclose the sum paid for the sheep. Unions have bitterly opposed the export of live sheep for overseas slaughter but have not opposed export for breeding purposes.
