    First you need some cows and something to put them in.

    I assume that most cattle hauling is local,even the ones that go hundreds of miles to feed lots or that deliver calves. Look around for local companies or ranches.

    You better be shifting nice and smooth and driving straight I've heard what some bosses will supposedly do if you don't and it doesn't sound like fun. You want to haul cattle you gotta get in with local cattle mafia, that's the way it works around here anyway.
     
    Rugerfan and x1Heavy Thank this.

    I'm just guessing a 379 Pete hooked up to a cattle float just looks really cool, in reality anything will pull a cattle float as long as you've got enough hp to get up all the hilly parts.

    I've seen a new 680 hooked to a pot and it just looked like a crime, it was actually the nicest 680 I've ever seen but just looks stupid.

    Because Freightliner has ugly hats... and the seats don't ride low enough.

    That's why !
