I used to live in Crowley, Texas as a child. Cacti is everywhere there - or was - it's becoming a city. $6.25 per unrooted pad with $6.50 shipping!!! And that was 5 years ago.

Just prune the thing back is what I would do.

You need tongs shovels and a team to transplant cacti.
One time in the Marines we transplanted a big agave and loaded it up in a big truck.
It took about ten of us with long shovels lifting to do it.
Yes in the Marines I was the unofficial plant and grounds person with a crew.
As long as we kept the place looking nice we didn't have to do stupid work or report to anyone.
