[QUOTE="Jake, post: 770356, member: 4"] I realize that this thread is all but over but in my experience with summer hauling the best is to open up all the air vents you have in your trailer (nose and front) and keep few enough animals that they can lay down in the bedding. Since your going to have water available to them I wouldn't spray them as your just going to mess with their natural cooling systems. Travel in the cool of the day and you should be able to quickly, safely, and without harm to the cattle. Also I wouldn't worry about "shipping fever" as the actual hauling of the cattle is just the stressor that triggers a BVD or IBR infection. Whether or not you spray the cattle down has little to do with whether or not they get sick from the trip. [/QUOTE]
