The black whiteface is not yours Jeanne?Pretty amazing. Do you think they were "downers"? There is no way in He!! any cow I have ever owned would be held down by straps.
I was thinking the same thing . They may have been going to a sale barn but probably a kill plant except #3 . Must be drugged to stay on that trailer !Pretty amazing. Do you think they were "downers"? There is no way in He!! any cow I have ever owned would be held down by straps.
Where there is a will, there is a way!I think I've mentioned before that when a friend of mine worked at the Navasota auction barn about 40 years ago he said he was working in the unloading pen one day when they saw a 4-door passenger car waiting in line with the trucks and trailers. They thought it probably had a baby calf or a goat or something similar, but when it got to the head of the line he said they had a 400-pound calf in the back seat, with so many ropes on it that all it could do was bellow and S@^T, and it had been doing plenty of the latter. They pulled in, cut the ropes off of it, opened the back doors, and let it jump out.
I used to have a Hummer H2 and hauled a few calves to the vet in the back. But you can be sure I put down plastic tarps under moving blankets before loading 'em up!!!I worked at a small sale barn for a time and saw 2 300lb cavles get unloaded out of the back of an suv style car. From the looks of the inside and the small that was drifting out I don't think a couple calves was the worst thing that had been in that car.
Completely unsafe! Where are the side mirrors?!
Special rule...not required apparently when hauling cattle on the "first haul" from a hobby farm.............. not a single one on ANY of the six pics hauling the cattle in! (OK, at least none visible on any of them... where you can see the pull vehicle...)Completely unsafe! Where are the side mirrors?!
