[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 769748, member: 6713"] As was posted on the breeds board: I need to go to Hutch KS in the middle of Aug to pick up 3 heifers and maybe a weanling young bull and bring them back to Colorado. My plan was to haul them in my 20 ft trailer with no more than two in each compartment. I plan on leaving tubs of water in with them in transit and refreshing those at least twice. I was also thinking of maybe spraying them lightly with water when I stop to help- cool them. What concerns me most is that the spraying them would induce shipping fever or cause more rather than less stress. This is an 8 hour trip barring problems. Two of these girls will be within a month of calving. I appreciate any and all "Constructive" input. [/QUOTE]
