Can´t help you with your question, but let me know when you pass! Always useful to have additional contacts who are certified to move sheep

Do you have a trailer? It's always useful to know someone with a decent trailer...!

Do you have sheep?

Will pick up a trailer today, it won´t be suited for shifting sheep as it stands, but will build some sides for it so I can move them short distances at least. I know someone in Somero who has an animal trailer he will rent out.

We will get summer sheep again this year, they should arrive in mid May.

We rent an animal trailer to fetch our sheep from Ostrobothnia. We have mostly "summer" sheep but we kept a couple through this winter. Last year we had 21, but hope to have a few more this summer. Yes, they usually arrive in May. My Other Half will take the "sheep transportation" test (his Finnish being marginally better than mine

) - I think it is later this month.

(Finland conducts quite a lot of inspections - over 350 in 2012 of which 110 infringements were made of which approx 70 were due to lack of paperwork. Most of the inspections take place at the abattoir rather than on the road. I think it is quite unusual for live animals to be transported over long distances in Finland.)
