    Those look to be young milk cows, wonder if them are the boys headed for whatever they do with the boys or girls that were bought...

    Ashame but it seemed like no one was hurt other then the cows. And of course a cattle hauler who might be out of a job.

    Happens more than you think. Doubt he's out of a job, he's probably the owner. A quick jerk like stated in the video would topple a cattle pot so fast that you don't have time to react. Hauling cattle its the when it will happen, not if it will happen. LOL

    And the young-uns like that are squirrely, because they are scared and have never been transported before.

    the middle part of the trailer where it is lower is sometimes called a pot belly trailer or pot for short.

    So dont eat it. No one cares. It's not a matter of when, not if. I hauled cattle for Walter Barnes out of Hereford TX, then moved with them to OKC and hauled thousands of Fat cattle out of the Panhandle and NM, KS and CO. Hauled feeders out of OK and every other sale barn in the SW. Never rolled one. Knew plenty of drivers who never rolled one. Knew a guy who did, ran the same route for years out of Altus OK and did the same speed around the curves and one day it just tipped over. He called in and said he couldnt get the lights on the R side of the trailer working.
