Safe • Reliable • Stress-Free transport for sheep, goats, pigs, calves, ponies, camelids, ratites and companion animals — collected anywhere in Great Britain and delivered calmly to their destination.
Animals are never cargo to us. Every detail — from trailer design to how we speak to them on loading — is chosen to eliminate fear and stress.
Animals step on calmly rather than being lifted or forced up steep slopes — eliminating the biggest cause of loading injuries.
Stable footing throughout the journey so animals stand confident, never sliding or injuring joints.
Interior pens configured to the size and mix of animals on board — no overcrowding, no jostling.
Roof vents and inspection flaps maintain fresh air flow and comfortable temperatures in every season.
Sheep, goats, pigs, calves, ponies, camelids, ratites and companion animals — all breeds, any size, singles or full groups.
Texel, Herdwick, Jacob, Valais Blacknose, Icelandic and more. Lambs, tups and small flocks.
Pygmy, Boer, Anglo-Nubian, British Alpine, Saanen; Kune Kune pigs and other breeds, all sizes.
Hereford, Belgian Blue, Limousin, Holstein, Dexter, Jersey — handled with extra care at young ages.
Shetland ponies, foals and miniature breeds — quiet, low-stress transit tailored to small equines.
Alpacas and llamas, all breeds. Spacious pens and calm management for sensitive herd animals.
Emu, ostrich and rhea. Secure, darkened travel environments for flightless birds — a DAF'S specialism.
All breeds and sizes — door-to-door rehoming, breeder collections, vet visits and holiday boarding transfers.
Rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, parrots, poultry, reptiles, tortoises and invertebrates — specialist handling available.

My name is David Ellams — "Daf". I've spent most of my life working with farm and domestic animals. After decades in farming, livestock and animal transport, DAF'S was built from a passion for animal welfare and a commitment to helping owners move their animals safely across the UK.
This business wouldn't exist without the support and encouragement of my late partner, Cathrin Arianwen "Mair" Jones — a much-loved partner whose kindness, support and love for animals helped shape the journey that became DAF'S.
Today DAF'S trades under CAE SALLY ANIMAL RESCUE LTD (company number 15764863, incorporated June 2024), registered in Wales. Alongside commercial transport we move rescue animals in distress — often at no or reduced cost — and we're currently raising funds for a 4×4 to reach more of them.
Cathrin Arianwen "Mair" Jones — every welfare-first decision we make carries her influence.
CAE SALLY ANIMAL RESCUE LTD is the trading entity behind DAF'S, dedicated to welfare beyond commerce. We provide free and subsidised transport for animals being saved from poor conditions, surrendered, or moved between rescue partners — because distance should never stand between an animal and safety.
Our current goal: purchase a 4×4 vehicle so we can tow larger trailers safely in all weather, rescuing more animals in one run and reaching remote farms the van alone can't handle.
Every donation — £5 to £500 — goes towards the rescue vehicle and covering transport costs for animals in distress.
