TravelWithRonK - changes are happening now
I have been on the road for 15 years but it is coming to an end. The
trip I am on now is over 11,000 miles in three weeks with at least
9,000 more miles to go (possibly more). This is the LAST long duration
'bus' style trip ever. My body just cannot handle the stress any more.
I will be switching to 'limo' style mode for all future trips. That
means trips of less than 10 days. The limo mode is more expensive so I
will be modifying my fee plan. I will be using the 'shared limo'
concept to keep your expenses as low as possible but my fees are
likely to increase by 50% or more. Even so I will be operating in a
'not for profit' mode but I feel that I owe the entire ag community a
solution for their livestock transport needs until someone else steps
forward.
This is time for the right person to come forward to continue my
legacy. Your name can go down in the Who's Who list of the most
influential people in small livestock history. I believe I am the
single one person who has had the most enfluence on genetic
distribution since Johnny Appleseed! You can carry on with your name
right behind mine.
You will not be alone. You will be in the company of some pretty
special people. Here are just a few examples:
Dr. Phil Sponenberg - the most reknowned livestock genetics DNA expert
in the world
Dr. Martin Dally - who solved the sheep AI yield problems
Suzanne Gasparotto - who turned the lowly pet quality myotonic goat
into a meat goat powerhouse
Don Smith - the 'old man' of boer genetics who successfully cloned
Eggsfile after his tragic death
the dozens of 'old timer' dairy goat breeders who were importing world
class genetics long before the ADGA existed
the new generation of breeders searching the world for new breeds with
Awassii dairy sheep being an example (only 50 animals currently in the
US)
the many dedicated 'rare' breed collectors who are saving the rarest
of the 'heritage' breeds
the SVF Foundation in Rhode Island who is saving the rare breeds in
cryogenic storage
these are all people that I have had the honor of meeting face to face
in a relaxed environment where there was time to chat about what they
had done and are doing
then there are the thousands of small breeders who are pursuing their
dreams of producing that one special animal that will go down in
history as a 'mover and shaker' in their breed
if you have the intestinal fortitude to step forward to make a
committment now is the time!
