Northeast Iowa | I'm not sure how they'd handle gooseneck loads. Send me an email and I'll get you in touch with the buyer. Haven't had a buyer physically on the place since 1996. Everything goes via grid and I decide if they're ready or not. We've sent less than full semis, but we're maybe 125 miles away, so it's not as bad as sending a 2/3-full load 800 miles. Here's a table for grid values reported to USDA. Based on that, if you're hauling them to the sale barn in Tama anyway, try a load at Iowa Premium and see how they cut out.
