Howdy all!
I hear from @farmerjan that this is the place to be. Thanks for the invite @farmerjan!
We are ranchers out west but are escaping as soon as our new property closes. Then the adventure of moving our ranch across the country starts. We have a bit of everything around here. Horses, dairy and beef cows, goats and sheep, as well as a few furry pets.
Looking forward to getting to know everyone here.
Hope y'all have a blessed day!

Welcome from Central Indiana! Looking forward to reading all about your move. @Ridgetop moved from California to Texas and it was quite the process. My DH and I are planning to move when he retires but just somewhere in state. And we only have chickens and geese to haul. Still, it seems daunting.

Do you know @farmerjan from one of the cattle forums?

Welcome from So Cal (San Diego county). Just sheeps here and chickens for our eggs and dogs to help me with the sheep. @farmerjan is right - this is the place to be :) - I'd say it's the only place but then I may be a bit biased ;).
So escaping from out west eh? Sounds like you're in Cali?? I have neighbors down the road that escaped to MO. We keep losing good people here. @Ridgetop just escaped from here - she can give a list of what to do and what not. Check her journal for the last few years on the process she went through - though they're selling the Cali house at the end of the year so she had lots of time to make lots of CA-TX trips (https://www.backyardherds.com/threads/ridgetop-our-place-and-how-we-muddle-along.38119/).

Hi..... Yeah I'm guilty of inviting/telling @RR Homestead about our BYH family... :hide :hide :hide :hide . We "met" on the CT forum as they asked some questions about their dairy cattle/bottles/mastitis etc... and I tried to help a little after a few years and a few hundred calves experience.
Seem to be pretty nice down to earth folks... hoping they can get to close on their new place and then start the moving process...
Word of advice... bring as much as you can of stuff that you have.... replacing will cost a small fortune... yes, fuel costs... but since it looks to be a multi-trip move... just bring everything with you that you can...
