[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1247941, member: 18945"] An older 20' x 6'-8" Gooseneck brand trailer with swinging (not sliding) rear gate. Yeah, he's pretty calm and docile in open areas and in the holding pen, but stand offish if you know what I mean--right up till he goes into an alley or chute. Gets pretty feisty then. One of the reasons I'm getting rid of him. Yeah, I can also extend the area out in front of the headgate with some 12' long portable panels if I can get them tied off to something on both ends, but by the time he gets thru the sweep, and down 36' feet of alleyway, I'm pretty sure he's going to be ripping and snortin and I'm going to be doing it alone--I can't be on both sides at the same time if he tries to go over the top of the panels. I might better just plan on having to pull the truck and trailer in and out with the tractor and use the loading chute..this will be weekend #3 for planning to load him--weather rain and lightning have not cooperated.
