Cattle trucking

[grassfarmer]

I'm wondering if anyone knows of any trucks or truckers hauling cattle from AB into SE Sask. or SW Man. at the moment that might have space to haul 6 young bulls? My usual trucker has let me down and I could do with moving these bulls ASAP. Thanks in advance for any replies here or by email if you prefer to ieaitken@hotmail.com

Make sure they have their CCIA buttons. Buy a trailer and haul them yourself.

Profarmer!! You having a bad hair day?

Grassfarmer, my suggestion is that you call the bigger companies like Roberge and ask them. They'll be hauling fats into High River on a regular basis and likely would be travelling back to the east empty as some point.

I am not sure who hauls sheep from Highwood east but they might also be one to ask. They use a facility on SALE's yard.

Profarm how many Toyota's have you seen pulling stock trailers??? Other than on tv. Really!

I know of one forsure. Randy Kaiser used his Toyota Tundra to deliver some Bulls to their new home at Zero Earth Farms......

Almost right BTO. I do deliver bulls with my 1/2 ton toyota tundra and a 20 foot featherlight. However, One Earth Farms picked up their bulls with their own unit. I think is was a Ford.

Awesome young man working for them, alongside some other very knowledgeable cattleman. Maybe you could send in a resume BTO. I am sure they would love to acquire your expertise and dedication; even on a consultation basis.

If you do have a goose neck hitch in your pickup grassfarmer, renting a trailer might be a good idea. I find it a nice part of the business to visit the ranch you sold the bulls to.

I am planning on heading out to the One Earth Farms ranches soon. Sounds like they have an awesome plan to raise stock and market right through to the consumer and avoid the multinationals.

Hugs and kisses to yous and yers BTO.
