Livestock & Animal Movement Service for low volumes and smallholders

A small family business started in 2009, Ark Farm primarily takes its own animals into schools and carehomes throughout the South East. Our animal movement service has often been called upon by people needing to move a small number of animals to their new location. We've successfully and safely moved goats from Norfolk to the Scottish West Coast; Bulls from Bristol to Bedford and even Ponies & Sheep to the Isle of Wight.
In January 2021 we split the Livestock Movement Services and the Educational Mobile Farm into separate businesses to allow each operation to better serve and meet the needs of their own customers.
We provide a livestock transportation service for smaller numbers of animals. With a variety of trailers and 4x4's or vans, our animal movement service ensures that your animals travel in a safe and secure environment. With over a decade of experience moving our own animals you are also assured that our team are competent, qualified and empathetic to your animal's needs on their journey long or short.
We are a fully insured and licensed livestock transportation service, qualified and experienced in moving cattle, horses, sheep, goats, pigs, birds and selected other species. We can undertake journeys up to 8hrs within the UK. We do not operate outside the UK. Copies of our insurance and license are provided when booking our animal movement service.

They provided secure accommodation for an overnight break and arrived with the animals in very good condition.
Their communication was excellent and reassuring and Fraser and Tam’s kind natures ensured the goats had the very best experience during what could have been a difficult and stressful journey. In consequence they have settled very well and I am very grateful.
I thoroughly recommend this service.

Ark Farm arrived punctually, early in the morning ready for a long journey from Bedfordshire to Isle of Wight. Easily loaded four sheep and one pony. Ark Farm supervised the livestock whilst on the ferry sail of 50 minutes. Offered them hay and water throughout the journey. On arrival to the new property Ark Farm staff led the livestock to their new field to graze and put some water buckets out for them. Excellent and professional company, very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend.

I used Ark Farm transportation for the first time in 2019 to transport to pigs. All aspects of the move went very well, from preparation, to movement and also paperwork. Moving livestock is not something I do often and Ark Farm were happy to answer any questions regarding the move no matter how daft. I’ll be using them again. Thanks.
