Grnxrymnky -- Nice work. If you attached some horizontal 1" x 2" wood cross slats on top of the wood floor of the trailer every 3' or so (use wood decking screws so the slats can be removed easily), the calves/stock will have a way to maintain their footing when in transit and/or when the floor gets slippery from the bovine deposits!

slippery business
i did something else. i laid a piece of wire cattle panel down (same stuff i have the sides made of). its well coated with "grease" now. they seemed to do pretty well on that.
thanks for the suggestion.

the TAX MAN!
i know exactly what you mean, but i just haven't thought about it like that. 1 Tag -- many trailers, but just one trailer!

i need to put a cut-gate inside it and some proper lift points on it soon, front and back.
one last steer to the stockyards in the morning and then wait for cattle prices to come back down -- buy low and sell high is the object of the game, right?

In a perfect world! Still waiting on cattle prices to come up in South Texas. The last two years have been pretty tough.
