Cattle hauling

Well, if the boss of the hog farm puts up with it that's his deal I guess. Not how I do business.

Just keep your head down driver.


Try to be a good, caring guardian of your livestock. Photo document and written journal may help you out if the #### storm ever heads your way.

At the end of the day be satisfied if you didn't carelessly contribute to the mayhem.

Good luck

 

I like cattle drivers. They are courteous on the road. Their trailers stink, but nothing really they can do about that I guess.

 

Poo Porie by the gallons!! Ha
Never hauled pigs went with my dad as a kid hauling a load or two of sheep! Dumb critters!
Would have to be starving to haul cattle again, like to sleep on a regular basis!! Hats off to the ones who still do.

 

Me too. Man I see some really nice rigs pulling cattle!

 

Dont know nothing bout cattle hauling but i heard a very smart hand on here say talk nice and gentle with em and pretty much don't be a hole.

 

Dr Bells Race horse medicine is how I heard it refered to it's definitely Dr Bells.
Anyway something you didn't want to do if you were riding with someone you didn't really know don't grab a toothpick off the headliner unless you definitely know it's yours.

Milking machines suck big time..

 

This thread is old but I’ll tell it anyway.

I’m from the city. I don’t know that much about farm animals. My understanding was always cows sound like Mooo (Moo like glue). Not so!

When I was OTR, I woke up in the early morning hours (still dark) to a most frightening sound right outside my truck. It sounded like Muahhhh (kind like the sound those death metal screamers sound like when they finish a line).

After hearing it a couple of times and wondering “what the hell is that?”, I decided to peep through the sleeper curtain. Nothing! Lay back down and again I hear this really deep “Mawwwwwwww” sound.

I finally muster up enough nerve to suit up and go outside the truck (with fangs extended of course). I look around and still nothing. Then I hear it again, “Mawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww”, a really long one. This time I hear where it’s coming from and I turn around quickly and it’s a #### cow in this pasture beside the truck stop.

Then I go over and, like the gentleman I am, ask the cow to please keep it down. “I’m sleeping here” I says. What did I get for my efforts?

Maaaawwwwwwwwwwww!

Anyway, they don’t sound like Mooooo! They sound like a #### Sasquatch at night!

 

I've wanted to haul cattle since I was in elementary school. My neighbor would fire up his 359 and cut all the lights on, and I could hear that straight-piped Cat from across the pasture.

I really love tanker yanking in the oilfield, but if this ever dries up I definitely think I'll move back to West Texas and learn how to pull a pot.
