    One went of the highway in British Columbia over ten years ago, cows running around all over the place.
    Funniest one , a car hit a cow, the cow wound up head first through the windshield into the passenger seat with its ### sticking out. Driver was ok, no passengers.

    Not talking down to you and im on Elogs with no problem ...butttt.
    Elogs don't work well with livestock which are a load and go proposition and long distances in some cases between off loading ..
    Examples are Florida , Tenn ,Virginia and Kentucky which are large producers of feeder cattle that go to feed lots in Nebraska and Kansas .
    When the driver runs out of hours in st Louis where do ya put a load of feeders ? ...can't leave em on the trailer !
    Farmer johns in LA another example which is a pork kill .
    They don't raise hogs in LA and they come out of the Midwest ...park a load of hogs in heat and they die quick .
    It goes a lot deeper than that but I think the day is coming when livestock haulers will be teams ...buttttt where to find these teams ? That know how to handle livestock and it's not going to come cheap .
    Bottem line is you don't park a load of animals on a trailer very long before they start dropping dead ...air flow is a must .
     
    Dan.S, Feedman, wore out and 3 others Thank this.
