Anyone reading the list who runs across any other sheep hauling operations, please post a message. I have used Delta Dash airfreight (http://www.delta.com/travel/trav_serv/pet_travel/pet_cargo/index.jsp) in the past, but they have so many weather restrictions that it is difficult to use them, and the closest freight office to me (1 hour away) isn't open on Saturdays. It's $153 plus the price of a shipping crate and health certificate for a lamb about 3 months old or less.
For a few extra bucks, you can use an outfit like Edgar Ranch (http://www.edgarsheepandgoats.com/transportation.html) or Ron Keener's service (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TravelWithRonK). The advantage is door-to-door service with loving care along the way. But it takes longer.

We have just joined the list and an introduction is in order. Lynne and I operated as Edgar Ranch. We have a little over 400 boer cross nannies and 200 Production Dorset ewes. We are located in south central Missouri operating on leased and owned land. Twelve Pyrenees and Maremma Guard Dogs are part of our operation. We have had the same blood line of sheep since 1982 and goats since 1998. We market our ram lambs and billy kids to New Holland, PA. The ewe lambs and doelings are sold as breeding stock.
