See that’s awesome!! That’s what I want to do with my children. So far only have one 2 year old daughter, but she loves animals. She goes out with me every night to “feed the critters.”
By the way, that picture you put on here probably was more of a bull wrestling than it looks like. They don’t have to be very big before they can start throwing their weight around. We banded a 450 pound bull calf without a squeeze chute and that guy was dragging two of us around.

My wife still packs around a picture of her bull "No-Bull" that she had when we got married 26 years ago. We sold him, and our three other cows, when my wife realized that raising cattle and children in Alaska was more work than she wanted. We had the farthest north Beefmaster cattle at that time.

It takes a special type of driver to be a bull hauler. I’ll be the first to admit I’m not that type of driver. Those guys work some crazy long hours, drive some insane distances without stopping and have cargo that moves. My hats off to them because I couldn’t do it.
Yes, they drive fast. I’m in a governed company truck so I stick to the slow lane. I’ve never had an issue with them tailgating me, they usually just go right on around and that’s that.
One thing I’ve noticed, however is that any time I’ve flashed my lights on and off for them to come on over they always blink their marker lights.
All in all, they’re alright by me. We all have a job to do. I drive my truck, they drive theirs and everything’s good.ajax1337, LoboSolo, Gearjammin' Penguin and 12 others Thank this. -

I didn't read this whole thread but in CDL school my instructor said it was way too much trouble for the DOT to pull over any truck that's hauling livestock because there's too many rules/regulations and accommodations that have to met for the animals. So that's a big reason why nobody seems to mess with them. I forgot what the accommodations were we learned about it in CDL school though. But I do remember thinking if I were a DOT officer I wouldn't want to deal with that hassle either.
