It's been brought to my attention that my answers have become confusing. I state that I live in Idaho, near Blackfoot, high mountain desert, 4700+ feet elivation. Yet I have started to answer as though I'm in Washington State, at sea level, in the Pacific Northwest.Hubby and I DO live in Idaho. However we have decided to move back to the farm in Washington. I am very excited about the move, as there is not place I like better on earth, than the farm in WA ( have lived there before). So my answers are sometimes coming from either point of view...the farm in Idhao, or the farm in Washington....so confusion for people who read my answers frequently.So this question does not get deleted for chatting, I will now take comments/advice on moving a circus....that is 70+ goats, 5 horses, 5 working farm dogs, 2 cats, 12 farm vehicles including tractors and a bulldozer, and to top it all off one personal library which has thus far filled 51 boxes (I'm not done packing books!).Of course advice on the move should be as green as possible, with the ideas. I already checked out the idea of having equipment shipped by train. The prices were SHOCKINGLY high....even higher than paying a trucking service, with the current high fuel prices!

I will answer your question with a question. Exactly how many miles is it from the Idaho farm to the Washington farm? I have used Zeigler Livestock to ship a breeding boar to my place from MT and I was very please with their service and price. That was almost 2 years ago now and I don't know what has happened with the prices since. They will give you their route schedules which fit into mine quite nicely.And I do know a number of local truck drivers that would take your run but I have to know what the mileage is. Expect to pay $2.50+ per mile though. As for the library it might take one truck alone....loll....
