    Are you talking as a job, working for someone else? Or as an O/O? Because honestly its really different.

    Before we owned the truck, hubby always said he'd NEVER haul cattle. But the niche in the industry drove him that direction.

    Is it dirty? Yup. Does it stink? Yup again. Is it dangerous? HECK yeah! Loading unloading hauling doesn't matter. You are hauling live animals that are freaked out. For an O/O the money and the loads are worth it. For an employee, I can't tell you, because you have to weigh the risks.

    If you do go this route, make sure you go with another veteran bull hauler. He can teach you how to load them, gate them and stage them. Also, he will teach you little tricks that will keep you safe. Especially when your green and don't know what to expect. LOL
