[QUOTE="simme, post: 1658168, member: 40418"] I have a somewhat related story that is unbelievable, but true. The old cow that I have posted before originally belonged to my son - until he decided that cows were costing him too much. She had a bull calf sired by the angus bull 10X. He decided to grow the bull out to sell as a herd sire. A buddy of his offered to grow the bull out with some others he had. When the bull was 2 years old, my son sold him to the owner of a local sale barn for use on his cows. Son was to deliver the bull to the sale barn very early on a Saturday morning and drop him off. He used his buddy's trailer since it was there at the farm. Loaded the bull and drove off in the dark. After a few miles, a car behind him stops him and says "your cow fell out of the trailer" back down the road. My son was skeptical, but looks and the trailer door is open. It is still dark. He drives back down the road and can't find the bull in the dark. He drives around until it starts to get daylight and finds the bull grazing on the side of the road against a fence. There is a driveway to a house that appears to be a farm. He drives the bull up the driveway and explains his situation to his "new friends". They get the bull in a lot and then loaded back on the trailer. Bull appears to be OK. No limping or scratches. Son calls the guy buying the bull. Guy says to take the bull back home for a few days and be sure he is OK. After a week, bull is still OK and goes to breed the cows for the new owner. After breeding those cows, new owner sells him to his neighbor. I don't see how a bull can step/jump out of a moving trailer traveling on a paved road and not have any injuries. Son decided that if he borrows a trailer again, he will tie the door with a rope just to be sure. [/QUOTE]
