Friendship farms

Friendship Farms provides ground animal transport out of Paxton, Illinois, serving the broader east-central Illinois region near Champaign. Chris Fleming leads the operation, moving dogs, cats, horses, cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs across the area with an emphasis on steady, low-stress handling for each trip.

The company holds an active USDA APHIS Class T registration as a registered animal carrier, active through October 2028.

This kind of ground transport fits a range of everyday needs, from farm-to-farm livestock moves to helping breeders relocate animals or getting pets to new homes. Because Friendship Farms works with such a wide mix of species, the team is accustomed to adjusting equipment and routines for different sizes and temperaments, whether hauling a single horse or a small group of sheep. Local producers, hobby farmers, and pet owners alike may find their range of species experience useful for routine transport around the Paxton and Champaign area.
