[QUOTE="Gliderider, post: 189885, member: 3296"] Yes, the trailer has a divider. He was worried about the older bigger cow beating up on the younger smaller cow. I don't see why he couldn't tie the aggressor. Not tight, just tight enough to keep her from punding on the smaller cow. I don't know if you can tie cattle in the trailer though. SRR - They aren't on the way yet. They are still in the field in WV. As to the bull we didn't want to make a pet out of him, just gentle him down a little. Don't worry, I won't be out there brushing a 1200# bull! Unless of course, he needs it... ;-) AngusLimoX - I was thinking the same thing about posting the temp thing. But it's really the seller that's worried about it. I figured they are highlands, they have long hair. Aren't there calves out there born in sub freezing temps? Rustler9- They are pretty darned fuzzy. Even that calves look like fuzzy little lambs. Cute things. So the basic census is to ship the calves and cows seperate. Make sure they have lots of bedding, and tell him bring 'em on? Or wait two weeks? Keep in mind, I'm extremely impatient. One of those, I want it and I want it now kind of people. :o ;-) Thanks for all the replies. [/QUOTE]
