How many 1100 to 1200 lbs cows will fit into a 32 ft gooseneck ? If you had to transport 19 cows and 10 - 200 lb calves 300 miles how big a trailer would it take and about what would it cost ?
would be cheaper to hire someone with 40ft groundload and make it all in 1 trip don't need a potcowboy43":2kk6c72y said:How many 1100 to 1200 lbs cows will fit into a 32 ft gooseneck ?

You're cattle must be much better trained than mine. I could never get them lined up like that. Three to the compartment was always pushing it with mature cattle. Smaller ones might allow one more put section if I got them in perfect. I wouldn't even think about moving them several hundred miles in those packed conditions.

Can cattle like that recover fully? I gotta think immature cattle would be permanantly stunted, but will older cows bounce back with adequate, proper nutrition?
