Questions for this shipment: 

Question: i am able to haul all the sheep at once either in a 16x7 stall (with your method of separation), or 2 - 8x7 box stalls making it easier maybe for you to keep lambs and sheep separate. you tell me how much room you need for the lambs and I can set the partition so they get a 'corner' with access door. i can also arrange for a 5 am pickup so the sheep would arrive in VA around 10:30 am...before the heat really sets in. sound good? (6/26/2009)
Response: It does sound good. They won't be ready to go until Wed., after they get travel papers from vet. (6/27/2009)
Response: ok, let me know when paperwork is ready, then we can discuss scheduling if you accept my bid (6/27/2009)
Question: Hello, I have shipped sheep before, my feedback for it is listed on my profile page. I have a 4 horse trailer with drop down windows and stock slats for lots of ventilation. I shipped in the heat and they did excellent because of the ventilation and with water and hay provided at all times. We tied up the wire fencing that the owner provided, to seperate the sheep from the lambs and it worked quite well. There were 7 adults and 4 lambs. I can do this for $1250 to rent the entire trailer. I am available early to mid July for this. Thanks, Erin @ MC Performance Horses (6/27/2009)
Response: It sounds fine but your price is way out of line (6/27/2009)
Response: That is my charge for trailer rental as I cannot put any other animals in the trailer(income) at that time and it requires extensive cleaning after the sheep are in there because last time the horses I hauled afterwards would not enter the trailer because they didn't like the different smell of the sheep. This trailer holds 4 horses, and that's what it costs to haul all 4 horses this distance. What were you expecting to pay? (6/27/2009)
Response: I do understand. The other offers were around 400. I just wanted you to know that your offer was much higher. Thanks (6/27/2009)
