I am thinking of selling, amongst others, a pregnant cow. and would need to deliver her about 30 miles in my livestock trailer. She is due to calf in 4 weeks. Mrs T says "it's too late, Youll have to wait" What does the team think?
Thanks in advance for your advice.

Hi Jim
new regulations that came into force in Jan 2007 state that an incalf cow or heifer must not be moved if it is over 90% of its gestation period and calves can not be moved before they are 10 days old
