[QUOTE="Kathie in Thorp, post: 1388615, member: 16769"] There are several of us out here in the Pac NW thinking about buying some cattle from E. Texas. Near as I can figure, that's just over 2,300 miles and over 30 hrs., from there (near our friend Caustic) to approx. 100 miles east of Seattle, with a couple possible routes on major freeways. When I say "some," that would likely be a couple of yearling bulls, and either a couple of cows or a couple pair. I understand it would be best to find someone hauling to TX, that needs a load back. My preference would be that they NOT be in a trailer with 30 other head. Fully-insured would be a must. What else would you look for in a shipper, and can you recommend anyone? This is not a PLAN yet; we are fact-finding at present; and between here and TX, this time of year sure doesn't grant the best road conditions, but it doesn't need to happen today. Previous, I've hauled up to 4 by myself, within about 12 hrs. one-way. A TX trip is too far for me. As always, I appreciate your input! [/QUOTE]
