So you wanna haul livestock?

Buddy hauled to feed lots out of Virginia and drove as team when he did that to Colorado, bull wagons have my full respect.

 

I have all respect for the livestock haulers. It takes a lot to get them to the destination in one piece with all the stuff that goes on these days on the roads.
I remember 1 night coming out of Minnesota, it was cold and I thought we were in for some real snow. Turned out to be Turkey feathers.

 

Pullin a bull buggy would be fun to me. Only for a few years till I'm so worn out. 7 months on an avg of about 5 hours of sleep a night made me come home looking about 5 years older and 40 lbs lighter!!! Id also have to start smoking again to keep me going!
Good thread Jake, keep this going.

 

Here is my question, for many years cow bells were normal on the back of a bull wagon and seems to be gone by the wayside.

What happened?

 

I think that horse's should be allowed to be slaughtered. If people who own horse's dont have something to do with them when they cant afford to keep them they instead die slowly of starvation in a field. But if horse slaughtering is allow in the U.S. then there is a outlet an the horses dont have to suffer an die of starvation.

 

Christopher Walken needed a lot more cowbell, a LOT more.

 

What's going to happen to this segment of the industry when EOBRs are mandated? I always thought you couldn't stop for long with livestock on a truck? Maybe they'll have to run teams.

 

Its recidiculous too. I go to one farm thats got the driveway on the side of a hill, can't see whats coming over the top. stuff like that keeps it interesting.
