Emanuel still confident of shipping WA sheep, but Harmony not an option

WESTERN Australian exporter Emanuel Exports still intends to ship 60,000 sheep held in a feedlot to the Arabian Gulf, despite an offer engineered by WA Agriculture Minister Alannah MacTiernan to have them processed onshore.

SHEEP stranded in a Western Australian feedlot under the care of de-licensed exporter Emanuel Exports can be exported under another exporter’s licence, sent for slaughter or returned to farms, the federal government said today.
