Nigerian Dwarf herd sale or trade for Boers

I need to sell most of my registered herd. We will be traveling alot on business and tried a hired ranch hand this spring that did not work out well for milking. I have Herzingers foundation does and Glimmercroft's Argyle is my foundation buck. I also have a proven buck out of Lil' Critters Farm. I have alot of blue-eyed does and bucks, first fresheners, doelings, wethers. We are up-to-date on vaccinations, and have a cae-free, closed herd. I have 2 FF left to kid any day. My 3 milking does usually give 2-3 lbs at each milking. I love my herd, but I don't like other people taking care of them in a manner that is less than my high standards and I am decided not to hire another caretaker. Lots of pictures available.
I am in Northwest Montana near Coeur D'Alene, Idaho and Spokane, Washington. I have shipped animals air freight before and will meet someone in another town when necessary.
If you know of another forum I can post please let me know.
Thanks so much!!

Totally dependent on the city to city. Give me an airport and I can tell you.

I will call the airlines and check. Delta is usually the best bet.

Were you thinking adult Nigie or kid? Crate size matters.

Wish I could afford to get some from you right now, we could use an unrelated buck.

I was thinking one of the FFs you mentioned or a doeling/wether combo (with the caveat that the meeting that will tell me whether the town will let me have goats isn't until next Monday and the price of airfare might push them up out of my range anyway).
