[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1809145, member: 24027"] Most of the time, I load directly from the alley &/or chute in the corrals. Just stick a bar behind them if they think about backing up. But y'all would be shocked how I load from the barn:ROFLMAO:. Remedial, rudimentary, rigged & non-OSHA approved. Barn was built in the 1930's. Tack room (using that term loosely) in the corner, by the 1000 lb. (each) sliding doors on one side. Small, probably 10' x 10' loading area or trap between the tack room, doors, and a small, paneled section of the barn. Back up the trailer between the barn doors and get 'em as snug as possible to the trailer. Open the trailer door, get the cows/calves/whatever in the trap and wait. They'll eventually go in because they have nowhere else to go. If it's just one or a couple, I'll set a bowl of cubes in the front of the trailer as bait. If they need encouragement and are close to getting in the trailer, I'll swing the door around and push 'em a bit. Sometimes they go right in. And sometimes, slower is still faster. [/QUOTE]
