[QUOTE="IL Rancher, post: 354579, member: 4097"] Oh.. Iactually really liked this group. They were looking for a calf for their autistic son. They had had a holstein but of course, he got to big and they had to get rid of him so someone put them in contact with us because we had some Dexters. It was a pretty small calf, still young so it didn't take up a lot of room. You do things because sometimes you just have to do them that way. I have seen some very, very inspired uses of old vehicles. A good welder and some iimagination probably could turn an old bus into a useful livestock truck. I wouldn't go that route personally but I can see a way of using the chasis and such for it... Old grain trucks have been used for some interesting things.. I would tend to use either the 16 foot bumper pull stock trailer we have or the 24 foot gooseneck personally.. Or, even forbid, use of of the dozens of short haul guys to do it for me... That being said, I have had more than one calf share the pickup cab with me in the middle of winter for a drive out of the pasture in the middle of a winter storm, lol.. [/QUOTE]
