    Is there guidance on the trailer space needed for sheep? Am thinking of say 40+ kg lambs.

    How far would you be traveling? And is it yourself moving em?

    Extract:
    Farmers transporting their own animals in their own vehicle up to a maximum distance of 65km are also excluded from the main provisions of the Regulation. However, they must observe General Conditions for the transport of animals. (pdf 11Kb)

    about 3 sq ft each, as long as you arrive at the factory with sheep in good condition you should be ok
