[QUOTE="Bez?, post: 241310, member: 4151"] With calves the issue will NOT be the weight. It will be the room for the animals. In fact they will probably crowd out at somewhere in the 7-9 head mark. Distance and footing is a factor as well. Specifically they need room to get up if they go down - otherwise they will be down for the entire trip. Make sure that you have good footing for them - they will "loosen up" in the trailer and the floor becomes very slippery. We use old hay because it seems to do a better job than straw - but straw works fine in a pinch. Shavings do not cut it in my opinion. Bez? [/QUOTE]
