The number of sheep exported live in each of the years 2016-2018 and to date in 2019, and the export destinations of these sheep in each year can be found below in tabular form. This data refers to EU countries and has been taken from the TRACES database which does not allow for the extraction of reports that indicate the age of the sheep.

A small number of consignments of sheep have been exported to some third countries during this period. My Department is currently gathering the data with regard to these and will revert as soon as possible.
