HerdShare connects livestock owners with haulers for cattle, horses, sheep, goats, hogs, and other farm transport needs. Producers can post a haul request with species, head count, pickup and dropoff, target date, and budget. Haulers can review open requests, submit bids, and manage opportunities from one place. The first launch is focused on livestock haul demand, hauler supply, bid matching, booking requests, Stripe-powered payments where enabled, and support workflows for agricultural transport.
