[QUOTE="MO_cows, post: 769805, member: 9169"] I think how they are treated right before the trip is about as important as the haul itself. If they are settled down, not all stressed and excited, and have had their fill of water, they'll make that trip just fine. Plenty of space in the trailer like you planned and not letting them sit around in the sun while on the trip, sounds like plenty of precaution. I wouldn't leave a tub of water in the trailer to slosh out and make the floor slick. We had to haul ours to a friend's farm back and forth for breeding several years. The trip up there it was always hot weather and the trailer had to be packed tighter every year. That was only a 2 1/2 hour trip, admittedly shorter than yours, but they always did fine, even the young calves. [/QUOTE]
