hello everyone! I am targeting the first Saturday of JAN as the start date of the next coast to coast transport trip - very early reservations already have me going coast coast from east to west - if planning for this trip follows the trend of recent trips I will fill up with large shipments early - that means if you want to include your animal(s) in the trip you need to contact me IMMEDIATELY!
as always I need pick up city/state, drop off city/state, and a description of the animals in the very first email exchange - even if you are not definite on your transport needs contact me with your tentative information - once I fill up with the large loads I have very little freedom to add small loads that require a 'side trip' route - at some early point I will 'lock in' a route based upon large load requirements contact me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] - I may miss your response if it goes through the group I am making a major investment in a new 10 speed transmission for the van/RV tow vehicle - this will be installed during DEC - this transmission along with the 100 plus gallon fuel capacity that I now have will mean that I can cruise nearly 1000 miles between fuel stops - this means your animals will be delivered quicker with less stress! the Southern Classic fully enclosed trailer has proven over two winters of use that it is excellent for winter transport - the animals are warm in the worst of winter weather but still have excellent ventilation - the comment I hear most often when I open the door of the trailer is 'I don't smell any ammonia!' some states are beginning implementation of early stages of NAIS requirements independently of USDA guidelines - it is IMPERATIVE that your vet contact the destination state state vet office EARLY so that your animals will meet ALL requirements - I have been stopped for RANDOM inspections in three states in the last six months - I simply CANNOT carry animals that are not 100% legal - go to the IMPORT web site below for information ANIMAL IMPORT info at http://www.aphis.usda.gov/vs/sregs HAPPY HOLIDAYS! -- PLEASE NOTE! TWO IMPORTANT MESSAGES BELOW!! - ALL livestock crossing a state line REQUIRES a minimum vet inspection certificate - it may be as simple as a certificate and rabies tag for dogs or as complex as several blood tests for other species - I WILL NOT TRANSPORT animals that do not meet the minimum requirements - go to the IMPORT web site below to find out what is required for the destination state of your animals - then have your vet double check with the destination state vet office far enough in advance to have time to complete blood test requirements - when I am on the road I DO NOT access my home email - email sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or @MidAmericaBreedingTech.com addresses will NOT be viewed until I return home - if I do not answer your email within 24 hours assume I am on the road - in that case contact me through the Travel group below - the same applies to my telephone voice recorder at 512.259.5098 -- IMPORTANT NOTE: if you anticipate using my transport service you need to join the TravelWithRonK group below immediately! by joining Yahoo at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TravelWithRonK or by email only (not required to join Yahoo) Post message: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Travel with Confidence with TravelWithRonK! see pictures of my rig at http://TravelWithRonK.com and http://www.raresoaysheep.com/TravelByTruck.html ron keener near Austin, Texas http://TravelWithRonK.com http://MidAmericaBreedingTech.com thanks - please see below for some useful web sites --- TRAVEL MAPS at http://www.MapQuest.com DISTANCE CALCULATIONS at http://www.indo.com/distance/ ANIMAL IMPORT info at http://www.aphis.usda.gov/vs/sregs TRAVEL WITH ME at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TravelWithRonK NATIONAL GASOLINE AVERAGE PRICE INFO at http://www.eia.doe.gov/oil_gas/petroleum/data_publications/wrgp/mogas_home_page.html public ID endorsements at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/IDherdtesting alternate and international ID order site at http://www.khimairafarm.com Percoba natural colostrum supplements for human use ************************************************************** * MidAmerica Breeding Technology * Using Technology to Enhance Your Breeding Program * * ID natural colostrum based immune system stimulant * for animals available as liquid or powder * info at http://www.colostrum.com * * Percoba natural colostrum supplements for human use * available as liquid or lactose free lozenge * info at http://www.thecolostrumstore.com * * Little Big Man Exotics * miniature Tennessee Myotonic (fainting) goats * and Great Pyrenees guardian dogs * * home of Ziegy - AnheuserBusch ZiegenBock beer mascot goat * * Amateur radio station WA0REE * * proud owner of classic 1978 Birchaven and * 1977 Royale GMC motorhomes ************************************************************** _______________________________________________ This message is from the blackbelly mailing list Visit the list's homepage at %http://www.blackbellysheep.info
