Export Process
Some customers know exactly which breed they want. Others need guidance based on farm system, feeding conditions, milk payment model, climate, or project goals. We help customers identify the most relevant options.

From Inquiry to Delivery
Exporting live cattle requires planning, structure, and clear coordination.
Each project is different, but the goal is always the same: to create a realistic and well-structured setup based on the customer’s requirements and the destination market.
The Practical Process
VikingLivestock supports professional buyers through the practical process from first inquiry to delivery planning.
Step 1
Project Dialogue
Every project starts with the customer’s requirements. This often includes:
- breed
- quantity
- category
- age or pregnancy stage
- destination
- preferred delivery period
- transport method
- health and documentation requirements
This first dialogue helps define what is possible and what solution is most realistic.
Step 2
Sourcing and Selection
Once the project is clear, we assess sourcing possibilities and available supply. In many cases, customers ask for precise specifications, such as pregnancy stage, body size, production background, or breed type.
This helps create a clearer match between the requested animals and the final delivery setup.
Step 3
Health Preparation
Live cattle export often involves veterinary procedures and destination-specific health requirements. Depending on market, animals may need testing, documentation, preparation time, and quarantine.
That is why health preparation is an important part of the planning from an early stage.
Step 4
Documentation
Professional buyers usually need either a full export package or a clear overview of what documents are included.
This may include:
- veterinary certificates
- identification documents
- pregnancy confirmation
- herd and health information
- export-related paperwork
Step 5
Logistics and Delivery Planning
Transport setup depends on market, volume, timing, and commercial terms. Projects may involve truck, sea freight, or air freight.
Some customers ask for one truckload, while others work with larger shipment programs. In both cases, delivery planning needs to be practical and clearly coordinated.
Step 6
Ongoing Communication
Good international cattle projects depend on clear communication. We aim to keep the process structured and practical so the customer has a realistic understanding of timeline, preparation, and delivery.
