Questions for this shipment: 

Question: Our bid is based on exclusive use of our 4 horse trailer. It has four air blowers and all dividers would be removed for your sheep or you can choose to keep areas divided. Non spill food and water containers are attached to walls. The price is high since no other animals can be picked up enroute to offset equipment and trailer costs plus tolls along your route are some of the highest in the country. I look forward to providing you with custom service this entire trip, Keith. (8/5/2009)
Response: I am sure you provide an excellent service and your equipment and attention to detail sound top notch. However, we are struggling financially (unexpected move) and just cannot afford your service. Thank you for taking the time to contact me. I really appreciate it. (8/5/2009)
Question: PS, IF you want costs to come down dog can be moved in pet carrier in tack room and sheep can be put in box stall so we can move horses with shipment but your request states you will follow which means EXCLUSIVE use of a trailer on a 2000 mile trek across the country. What do you feel is a reasonable charge for this trip and I will let you know if it can be done for that. (8/5/2009)
Response: Something to consider. Bella does not care for being separate from her flock and will most likely bark and dig to get to them. With them she is extremely calm. If I do not follow, how will the animal's care be handled? I'm sure your price is reasonable, I would not presume to guess a reasonable price. We are going in to debt for this move, regardless of the amount, but it is necessary. (8/5/2009)
