Muck Boots 'n' Slickers - Life of a Livestock Hauler

That was an interesting read.

 

I'm curious, y'all ever unloaded out the side?

 

I personally have not.

 

Not intentionally!

 

Me neither, it's just always been in the back of my mind. Probably a pain in the arse getting the upstairs down the ramp and turned so they go down the belly.
Screw it! How would ya get the hatch open with them standing on it.

 

We used to jump them right off the tail in places out around Wyoming and Montana. I prefer a bale a straw or something some them guys would say go x miles this way. Then that way. Pick a spot and let em out.

 

We do that sometimes. Works good til they pick us a loose bale to jump out on and you get a cow stuck in a bale like a candle in a birthday cake

 

Do you light her or blow her out inquiring minds want to know

 

Adds to your experience. Easy to remember when and where also... (See, you brought that right up.)

 

Shoulda lit a fire, this was one of them deals that took too long and we were in pitch dark and those cows wanted nothing to do with it. I asked the ranch hand why he laid the bale sideways and he said he thought it was a little taller that way.

I told him the worst part was that we all knew he was doing his best
