Some tree farms might do this for a large order. What size do you want them to be when first planted?

I'm not sure. What size has the most success when transplanted?

Transplant Cherrybarks or Shumards?

Well you’re saying transplanted. You could
Buy them In containers and you move them wherever you want then plant them.
Transplanted implies they are in the ground and then you want to move them.
Where do you live? Trying to see what farms in your area might have them. May have to go into Texas.
Does it have to be sawtooth? What’s the allure of that oak specifically?

For the money, you'll do better to buy young trees. They're a very fast growing tree.

Yep.
One of the fastest growing Oaks and Earliest acorn producing oaks. Wildlife prefer the taste of this acorn as well. I have quite a few at our property and one at home and it grows up quickly.

Also look into Chestnut trees. They produce at an early age, and now is the time to plant them. They are available at some Walmart right now. They are from Chestnut Hill Nursery.
I think winter is the time to plant Sawtooth Oaks. The ones I have planted I collected the acorns, and grew them myself.

Probably not gonna have success down in Louisiana with a chestnut tree. Those are only hardy to One 5-6.
Sawtooth is the better option, or a nuttall/shumard

The Duntsun Chestnut is rated for zones 5-9. We planted a few this past winter, so hopefully we have some luck. We are also north of Natchez, MS.

I have saplings that just sprouted for sale. Sawtooth,white, shumard, and nuttall

Not saying it won’t happen but fruit (nut) propagation likely won’t be the same.

Depending on how much you want to spend you could get some container grown 15-30 gallon trees for like 50-75 per tree plus delivery. The container gives you more leeway in planting them. They can survive longer in the container rather than b&b

I planted approx 20 bare root oaks before Christmas. At least half were sawtooth with balance in willow, pin, and shumard.I got them from Mossy oak Native nurseries. They all are looking good and have leafed our.

The best way is to plant bare root during the winter. The Wildlife Group has a large selection at a good price. Sawtooths are tough you probably could get away with planting bare root now if they will still ship.

Chinese and Dunstan chestnut trees both do well in the south.
