[QUOTE="expensive hobby, post: 894765, member: 17104"] I was needing to do my first haul to the sale barn. Went out and found a good deal on a used stock trailer. Brought it home, went over it and everything seemed to be in good working order. The next Monday was big sale day.....oh man...yippie. I got the truck and trailer set up.....set up my sorting area.........set up my chute........then called in the few girls that I had. I had two old granny herefords that had to go. One loaded just as easy as can be the other did not like black top.....as I would come to realize. She would not cross the black top lane to load. So I just gave her time......but my time was running out and I needed to get to the sale barn. So with the help of a cheater pipe I literally scooted her across the black top. I guess that it was just too complicated to move the trailer?????Duhhhh. Anyway, got her to the grass on the other side and in she went. I followed behind her and closed the divider gate. Then went back and closed the back door and locked it down tight. I walked around, got into the truck, started her up and just as I popped the ebrake I looked out my passenger side mirror and there were the two grandma cows out of the trailer and heading off. I got out of the truck scratching my head. My frustrations grew as I learned that I forgot to check the side door to make sure it was secure. I left it unlocked and they blew out before I even got going. And that old cow that would not even step onto black top......well she was just a strolling her azz right down the middle of that black top without a concern. :lol2: Needless to say, they did not go to the sale barn that day. The first thing that I check now is the side door latch. Lesson learned. [/QUOTE]
