I am looking at a doe that is in New Mexico and I am in Oregon, this is an older bred doe. Shipping by air is out as that would cost more then the doe and at this point the breeder doesn't know of anyone coming this way.
So the idea that is running though my mind is to see if it would be possible to set up a relay. So how it would work is someone that is close to the breeder would go pick her up and and someone else would get her from that person and so on until she is close enough for me to pick up.
My question is are there enough breeders on here between NM and OR that would be willing to do something like that ? Thanks MR SKM

I do know that this method of transport is used in our area by dog rescue groups, so I know it is used. I am of no help though in finding transport...best of luck to you.
Hey, I'm late finding this but wondered if you ever got it to work out or found a way to get your doe. Hope you did and are happy with her. I got my 9 doelings from there and had them ushipped to Mobile. It was a little costly but well worth it though we love them to pieces. It would be so nice to be able to set up relays like this between us all. Maybe if we grow big enough in a wide enough range we will be doing them regularly one day.
No I have not. I was kind of hoping to just put something together from those on the list. I was specifically throwing this out there to see if it would work as it is an idea I have had for a while but no real want(goat) far enough away to check it out on.

p.s. The Doe in question is in Edgewood, NM for those who might be in the area thanks.
have you tried googling other herds in the area and contacting them to see if they have anyone coming your way?
Wow..good idea! I live in Northern Maine and think that if that works there it might work here!
