So you wanna haul livestock?

I'll update pretty regular. I just loaded 12 bulls and 6 cows in gilmer. Gotta go to sulphur springs and get 6 more bulls and 14 cows to finish out. Being spring time the bulls are horny and wanna fight one another, fight me, and have relations with one another, so a person has to be on their toes handling them.

 

I take a lot of pictures, but can't figure out how to upload from my phone. Just stopped at the 406 in weatherford to eat, shower, fuel, and check the cattle. 3 hours from here to Angelo then 435 miles back to texarkana to load in the morning.

 

Got em kicked off in Angelo and back at the chrome shop in weatherford. Gonna have a cup of coffee with him then on to texarkana for in the morning. Loading country cattle tomorrow. Will have to weigh, go load, and reweigh to get the weight of the cattle and they will be sold on the truck. I'll just head west and will get a phone call and tell me where to take them.

 

I get $4.00 a mile right now. They won't be doin one another much longer. They got an 8 am appt to have their head cut off.

 

Loading is pretty simple. The cowboys bring your cuts down the alley and they are all yours. Get behind them with your hotshot and push them up the chute onto the trailer. Gotta be quick to keep from getting run over. Unloading is open the gate and holler a bit. Maybe a little electrical stimulation too.
