[QUOTE="Farminlund, post: 259666, member: 1132"] Sure was. A most amazing happening. 1500 head all with EID tags, & barely a moo for like 3 hours as they were all unloaded & processed. When we were hauling down 460 out of Appomattox, there were 2 trailers directly in front of us & 2 trailers behind - a cattle trailer caravan! I've never seen so many potbellies in one place as I did in the Lyn Livestock Mtk parking lot - like 10 or so & there were a few unloading as well. The other thing that was interesting is that many many of the animals were very high strung. My 2 groups (high 5's & 7's) each got encroached by other cattle as the gates opened due to all the movement (slow to sort them back out). The head of the operation said that since EID reading was going poorly & everything had fallen behind schedule; that there was a tension & hurry-up feeling down on the floor & that the cattle were picking up on it & reacting to accordingly. I didn't disagree, but I can say that mine were the same mild mannered bunch they always have been. [/QUOTE]
