hello everyone!
there is a VERY VERY VERY remote possibility of me making a transport
trip to Alaska - if this were to happen I would pick up a partial load
in PA and then head west to I-15 in Montana then head north on the Alcan
highway to Fairbanks
to even remotely make this cost effective I need to have a large load -
who out there would like to see a trip put together?
the person I am talking with in Fairbanks has contacted the Canadian
officials in the past few days - it IS POSSIBLE to transport animals
across Canada as long as they have all the necessary tests and permits
and will not be unloaded ANYWHERE in Canada - the Canadians call this a
'sealed' transport
the distance from the Montana/Canadian border to Fairbanks is about 2000
miles - that means about 3-4 days of straight through driving - I would
have to be self contained on hay and can pick up water along the route
at gas stations - but with my trailer configuration I can carry about 30
animals with the animals having plenty of room
this will NOT be a CHEAP transport - gasoline in Canada makes US gas
prices look like a bargain - there will be LOTS of wear and tear on my
equipment that I must charge for - plus we are looking at about three
intense weeks of my time for me to get from PA to AK to TX
please reply privately to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
if you know a person or group who would be interested in this message
please pass it along - I cannot even consider this trip unless I have a
good sized load

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 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
