Question: Do you have anything else that could be added with this haul to fill the rest of a trailer? Small load to go so far. I regularly haul up to 80 goats at a time in my trailer with the gaurdian dogs mixed in. (8/10/2009)
Response: Possibly. I would really like to keep my Highland cattle and goats as well. I have 2 cows and three calves, along with 7 goats. (8/10/2009)
Response: Are your Highlands the larger or smaller of the breed? I think I may be able to get all your animals into one 24 foot stock trailer if we set the dividers correctly. (8/10/2009)
Response: Hmmm...not sure exactly. I'm guessing they are the larger. About the size of a Devon or Jersey, not as big as a Holstein but bigger than a Galloway. They aren't the kind you see in a petting zoo. When they delivered them here, they fit all 5 of them in a two compartment (4 horse?) trailer. (8/10/2009)
Response: I think they all would fit, cattle in two box stalls wich could be opened together if needed and goats and sheep and LGD in front box stall. When would you like to make this trip? I will start a bid package for you and submit it. Thank you, DoubleJServices (8/10/2009)
Response: If everything falls into place, I'd like to move them around the 28th of this month (August). But there are details I'm still working on. I have an investor and need to arrange for a buyout. If things don't go smoothly, then it could take some time. (8/10/2009)
Response: I will keep track of your shipment details, when I submit my bid it will be for all of your livestock. I hope all goes well, I am familiar with the high cost and stress of moving; we made the move from CA to MT a few years back and are still trying to get the rest of our stuff. (8/10/2009)
Response: Thank you for the understanding. As I may have stated earlier, this is an unexpected move and not at a good time (if there ever is one). This was our first farm and we are still working to buyout or investor stake in our business. I wish I could give you a more definitive time line, and I understand that the price may/will fluctuate as your expenses dictate. The next week or so will probably define the direction we are going to take. Thank you for your time. I'll do my best to let you know as soon as I know something. (8/10/2009)
