How did you guys choose what trailer you were going to use?

The trick to livestock is to take your time. Of you rush things, you tend to get kick back. Sometimes it's best just to step back for a second and let them calm down....vs trying to prod them more. The trick is get the first one moving and keep them pointed in the right direction while moving.
It's not rocket science, but it is easy to get frustrated. Ground loading sheep is the worst imo. I wish that upon no man.

 

I would never want to haul livestock. Especially none going to the slaughter house. Yes I eat burgers and I eat chicken but I don’t want to be the driver taking them to the final destination. I’m thankful for those truckers who do but I just don’t have the heart for it.

 

JMO....There's more things to worry about than getting kicked if your hauling livestock..... thats the least of my worries

 

How fast was that driver going in the rain with those cows? Holy crap; looked like he was going 70 in the rain on a non highway road

 

I’ve not hauled near as many cattle as some of these others, but I learned real fast yelling and proding them gets you and them worked up and nothing seems to go the way you want it to. Cool calm and typically a little tap on the top of the hind end with the prod (no electricity) of one that didn’t want to move and they would just walk on and off.
