"He's here and he's beautiful! I picked up the little gentleman, he came out of the kennel like he owned the place...and probably impressed everybody there (at the airport) with his personality. I will keep you updated!"

"When it came to shipping my two bucklings this spring I couldn't be more pleased with how it worked out. You were willing to
arrange a flight that worked with my schedule and made sure to keep me updated and call me when the boys were put on the plane. I was so excited to see my new herdsires that
I let them out of the crate when we were still at the airport! <G> As usual they were
even nicer than expected. They were happy and healthy and didn't seem to be stressed
from the flight at all. The boys made an easy transition into my herd."
Thanks Sara

| Let Us Know Your Needs |
|
 Do you anticipate needing airfreight shipment of your new kid? Although we encourage you to pick up your kid in person, we understand that this is not always an option. Let us know your needs and we can make the necessary airline arrangements to ship your new kid to you out of Sacramento International Airport (SMF) on either Delta, American or Continental Airlines. These airlines have provided good service to us in the past, as well as offer competitive shipping rates. We will work with you to arrange a day and flight time that will fit both your schedule and ours, as well as accommodate the needs of your new kid. |

| Getting Things in Order to Ship Your Kid |
|
|
|
Once you have been notified that your LakeShore kid has been born, it is important that you begin preparing for the upcoming shipment of your kid. We prefer to ship kids between 4 to 6 weeks of age, as we feel that they are strong and off to a good start by this time. The buyer is responsible for all shipping costs prior to time of shipping; including shipping fees, shipping crate and health papers. We have a limited supply of brand new shipping crates that can be purchased from us at cost. Please notify us in advance if you plan to purchase one of our crates to insure that we have one on hand for your shipment. If you have an airline approved crate that is the correct size for your kid that you would like to use for shipping, please have it sent to our farm no less than one week prior to anticipated shipping date. Airline shipping costs often vary from one airline to another and are usually dependant on the size of the crate, the total weight of the kid and crate, and the final destination. We will do our best to find the lowest shipping rate on an airline suitable to you, the buyer and us. |

| What You can Expect on Shipping Day |

Shipping can be stressful to a young kid. At LakeShore we take every precaution to insure that you receive a healthy and happy kid. It is important that your new kid adapts quickly and transitions well into your herd. With this goal in mind, all kids are fed a bottle of pasteurized milk with probiotic supplements to ease shipping stress and upset stomachs just prior to shipping. The shipping crate is also packed well with a layer of pine shavings and clean straw to keep them dry and alfalfa hay for the kid to snack on during the ride. Depending on the age of your kid, a small container of grain or alfalfa pellets may also be included. |

One of the most important things that you can do on shipping day is to meet the crate and kid at the airport as soon as it arrives. You may want to bring a bottle of milk with you to the airport to offer the kid, especially if it was a long flight or if you have a long drive home. It is not uncommon for your new kid to take a day or two to adjust to their new routine and surroundings. However, they usually transition best to their new environment when they are introduced to the other kids in your herd shortly after arriving.
Don't forget to call us after you pick up your LakeShore kid from the airport to let us know that they have arrived safe and sound. |
