Joel Rice Excavating

Joel Rice Excavating provides livestock transport services out of Cashiers, North Carolina, serving the western Carolina region near Asheville. The team moves horses, cattle, sheep, goats, chickens, and pigs, giving farm owners and breeders a practical option for hauling animals between properties, sales, or veterinary appointments.

The company holds an active USDOT registration as a registered motor carrier. This kind of setup can suit small farms needing occasional transport as well as larger operations moving herds or flocks on a regular schedule.

Given the rural terrain around Cashiers, having a transporter familiar with mountain roads and livestock handling can matter for animal comfort and safety. Whether it's relocating breeding stock, sending animals to auction, or shuttling a few head to a new pasture, this kind of service fills a real gap for area livestock owners.
