Bull Exchange
Bull Exchange
Members who wish to participate in Bull Exchange should send relevant information via “Contact Us”
It has been agreed that if a member would like to exchange a bull with another member possessing a similar bull, it could assist members in finding a suitable bull and maybe save some quite good animals going to abattoir. It would then be a matter for the members to decide if they wish this to be a permanent exchange or short term.
