    I heard of people taking livestock up to Scotland, taking the ferry into Belfast, then driving south. I don't know which ferry company they used.

    You can also ask the BPA to find out how the breeders in the north get their pigs from Britain.

    Large amount of paperwork involved i think, most farmers get livestock importers to handle it
