Questions for this shipment:

Question: when does this little kid need a ride?? (4/25/2008)

Response: Anytime... we're very flexible as to dates. (4/26/2008)

Question: They will be in a dog crate? Will you pick up in chicago? (5/3/2008)

Response: They will be in a medium-sized dog crate. We could travel to Chicago, it's not ideal, but possible. What route would you travel into Illinois? (5/3/2008)

Response: I just booked another load to WA. I can go threw WI. I will be taking 94. I have never haulled goats. I have haulled cats and dogs on this site. I have horses at home that we barrel race everwhere with. What do you feed them? Do they go to the bath room in the crate? I will need food,bedding, and a crate. Will they go in seperate crates or in one medium dog crate? Whats your price for thease? What date can they be picked up? (5/3/2008)

Response: I posted an answer here but it disappeared! Sorry! Yes, both goats will be in one crate. They will go to the bathroom in the crate, but is not smelly like a dog or cat. They will have food provided (pellets, hay, water, possibly a bottle for one or two feedings). Bedding will be provided. They cannot ride in the back of an open pickup (must be enclosed, ventilated space because they are so young.) The sender needs 48 hours notice to have them ready. Price is negotiable, 200 as a baseline. They are very cute and very fun! Thanks for considering this shipment! (5/4/2008)

Question: Hi, Chad here with Blue Diamond Farms LLC. Dang 48 hrs notice I just saw this shipment. If we can get this set up I would like to pick the little guys up Tuesday mornin. Thats hopefully givin us enough time to get it set up. I will be in Bend OR on Monday evening to pick up a dental chair I got thru this site that is going to Davenport IA. I will hang out till Tuesday if that will work. If you can meet me in Davenport on Thursday evening I would do it for $240. Also I would be transporting them in the back floorboard as I have removed my backseat so I have plenty of room. I sleep in the truck so they will be at a comfortable temp at all times. I will go ahead and place a bid. Thank you for your time and I hope to be talkin at you soon. (5/4/2008)

Response: We're checking with the sender to see if Tuesday morning would work for pick up. Davenport is 2 hours from us, but we could meet you there (please say it won't be in the middle of the night!!). We'll post as soon as we hear. Thank you! (5/4/2008)

Response: You got me to laughing there. No I'm sure we can meet up at a descent time. Thank you for the quick reply. (5/4/2008)

Response: I have another provider offering to deliver to our place. That is better for us. Thank you for your interest, though. (5/4/2008)

Response: Wow they're giving you a good deal, but I will match that as I won't be that far away. I also grew up on the farm. We've only had one goat and we bought him at a mature age, but I have raised quite a few bottle calves. I will repost my bid for $220 also cash on delivery will be fine with me. Thanks Chad (5/5/2008)

Response: Not clear from your post - will you bring them to Wisconsin then? If so, we will try to make this work then and notify you in a few hours. (5/5/2008)

Response: Dangit I was nappin there. Yes I'll match thier offer and bring the little guys to your place for $220. (5/5/2008)

Question: Hi, We will be in Bend this weekend for a horse event and will be leaving Sunday (May 11) night to deliver a miniature horse to Finland, Minnesota (would have to look up on mapquest if that is near where you need them in Wisconsin) ~~ we have raised goats in the past ~~ have no problem with putting the shipping crate inside our vehicle so the temperature can be controlled ~~ and if they could meet us in or near Finland could do this for $200 ~~ I've traveled before with babies that need to have milk mixed and fed to them. Should I place a bid? (5/4/2008)

Response: We looked up Finland MN on the map and it is 7 hours from where we live. I don't think we can travel that far for pick up. Thanks, though. (5/4/2008)

Question: Me again, I should have checked all the places I'm stopping at, will also be in Decorah, Iowa and that looks to be just a little over 100 miles from you and could either meet there or deliver to you in Avoca for $220 ~ should I place a bid ~ would that time schedule work for you? (5/4/2008)

Response: Yes, please post a bid - 220 for delivery to our area is great. Thanks! What time for pickup in Bend? (5/4/2008)

Response: Hi, Not sure what information you want me to post about us? We live in Northern California and will be in BeRedmond to work at the Pat Parelli Horse Tour Stop during May 9-11th, if the people who have the goars are willing to let me inside to use their computer to verify paypal payment no problem with you paying after we have picked them up ~~ I grew up on a farm and my husband use to raise & had a few milk goats ~~ we have bottle raised goat kids before ~~ we will be leaving on Tuesday to start our trip as we are going up a few days earlier for a mini vacation ~~ (5/4/2008)

Response: We have another bid here that appears to match yours. Will keep you updated. Our understanding is that the sender would meet you at the horse show and so you wouldn't be able to use their computer to check paypal. I'm just not comfortable paying before the goats are picked up. Sorry about that. (5/5/2008)

Response: No problem, go with your gut feeling ~~ I had thought to meet at the Horse Show, but then got your email about wanting to paypal after we picked up the goats, so then sent the message that we could meet and use their computer to veirfy paypal ~~ I see you got a quote to pay upon delivery, I'm sure that works better for you (we've just been burned too many times delivering horses and when we got there they didn't have the money.....so now it has to be paid in advance)....have fun with your goats, I enjoyed the baby ones we had, they were nubians and so much fun, well until they got older (5/5/2008)
