[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1745977, member: 42463"] People, access, AND facilities... I can't believe the number of people that hire hauling and have NO way to contain their cattle and no way to funnel them into a trailer. I had a guy hire me and his cattle were on the top of a hill. The fenceline was off the side of the hill and in the trees around the entire field, so the trailer couldn't be parked in a position to use the fence as a funnel. The best I could do was park the trailer in the middle of the pasture where there was a tree that I could support the trailer door in a position to help. A really poor solution in a terrible circumstance. We chased his cows around for over an hour until they were so tired they were docile enough to walk into the trailer to get away from us. I ended up asking the guy what he expected to get for his cows and instead of hauling them to the salebarn I bought them. He was a neighbor, so I could have just opened the gate and run the cows over to my place without loading. Should'a asked to begin with. LOL... [/QUOTE]
