We had a bad morning but it could have been a lot worse. Ours pens are less than good. It works fine for loading calves but cows are terrible. This morning we wanted to haul both cows and calves. We called them up. The ones we did not want to take went right in the pens. The ones we wanted acted like they didn't know what to do. That's normal though. Finally got them in and cut out. Loaded 3. One tore up the top of the trailer trying to go through it and she almost suceeded. Dad was about to have a come apart at this point. Got one more of the other three in. Another tore the pen up when it ran over it and out. OK forget those last two and go with what we had. 4 out of six ain't bad anyways. Pulled out of the pasture and stopped on the road to get out of four wheel drive. Checked the cows and the front four boards had fell out of the trailer and one cows foot was through it and almost to the road. He knew the metal was rusted bad when he rebuult the floor last year but i guess hoped it would hold. Backed up to the gate and turned them out. Dad had his come apart at this point. Maybe we'll try another day.
