      Assessing Pregnant Females

      If in doubt, leave it out. Animal Welfare is paramount. 

      Please remember that Fit to Load Standards state that Females in Late Pregnancy should not be transported. 

      It is the responsibility of the Agent, Vendor, Transporter and Purchaser to ensure all animals are Fit to Load at time of delivery. 

      AuctionsPlus references the MLA Fit to Load Guidelines and Land Transport Standards with regards to stock movements. 

      In summary, Industry best practice recommends that animals within the last 2-4 weeks of gestation should only be transported under veterinary advice. 

      If in doubt, leave it out. Animal Welfare is paramount.
