[QUOTE="1848, post: 77928, member: 1303"] I agree with the 10% for 8 hours in a stressful environment. I have heard horror stories about feeder cattle being hauled long distances and losing up to 20%, especially in cramped quarters on extremely hot days, but I'm sure those are exceptions...but considering how much a bucket of cr...manure weighs and considering how most cows find it necessary to purge themselves when trailered or pinned I can see how. I wouldn't think a healthy animal in a trailer for one hour (unless it is really really hot) would lose more than a couple of percent, if that. I bet the shrinkage in that sale barn in Iowa probably coincided with the growth in the sale barn owners wallet.... :lol: [/QUOTE]
