As far as hauling ran 3 32' trailers an average of 3 days a weekfor over 5 yrs hauling cattle, at the time we were running around 2500 stockers a yr and I hauled them all in my trailers and never had any foot problems that could be attributed to cattle panels in a trailersomn":1m3eft7r said:I would say if you have never had any abcesses in all the years you have hauled cattle you are either very lucky or you haven't hauled many cattle. Cattle coming off soft lush pastures then thru a salebarn have a very high incidence of abcesses add to that the irregularity caused by the cattle panel instead of a smooth floor you have a recipe for disaster. Seen it to many times.Angus Cowman":1m3eft7r said:I have hauled cattle for yrs and have never had a prob with the cattle panels giving them abcesses or anyother foot problems maybe you need cattle with tougher feet bring them to Mo and let them run on mine and Duns rocky pastures to toughen them up
I would rather see a panel in a trailer than a bare floor or mats because when you get them there they are at least standing up not being walked on by all the other cows
So maybe you are just unlucky
