Our Profile

Agrifred Exports has been at the forefront of large livestock export projects since the eighties. With our extensive global reach of 6 of 7 continents, Agrifred is highly qualified to collaborate with animal health, government agencies and officials, quarantine sites, and shipping companies to provide a seamless process for import. Additionally, our global relationships allow us to source in multiple countries. The Agrifred family comprehends the investment that our clients are making by entrusting us and will strive to exceed expectations at every turn. Our passion to deliver starts with our keen knowledge and background in animal management. We maintain the highest standards when it comes to care and handling of animals and partner with only facilities that uphold the same standard of excellence. This diligence was evident most recently with an impossibly low mortality rate of less than 1% from purchase to arrival in Saudi Arabia, an accomplishment of which we are most proud.

Steeped in a deep history…

Agrifred Exports has been a key player in the livestock export business for over 40 years. This 40-year journey began with foundational livestock export experts who originally worked for Hays Farms International in Oakville, Ontario during the early 80’s. This expertise in shipping live animals, semen, and embryos all over the world makes them the premier choice for animal export. With a foothold in the United States and strong global partnerships it is simple to negotiate cattle trade, be on site for selection, facilitate quarantine, and accomplish final delivery. Agrifred was used as the sole source of Holstein heifers for Almarai in the early 2000’s which culminated with successful stocking of a new farm site. Due to that success, Almarai recently returned to Agrifred to create a team of distinction undertaking a mission to achieve the goal of the largest back-to-back USA export which completed in early 2024.
