If your stock trailer has a safety chain for the doors, always use it, if it doesn;t have them use some sort of chain to rig one up.
Dropped off a load of calves at the salebarn yesterday and was walking inside. A trailer of calves came through the gate and as he made the turn to go around to the back the rear trailer door opened. A couple of calves (7&8 weights) fell out and took off running. Wife and I got to the gate going out in time to shuch them back inside the fence. Guy with the trailer just kept rolling. A couple of minutes later, here came about 1/2 a dozen more calves, got them turned and here came a whole bunch of them. Pretty quick the cowboys showed up and started herding them to the back of the property. Saw the guy with the trailer pull in to unload and there weren;t any calves in the trailer. Just glad they didn;t spill out 2 minutes before or they'ld still be running. Always hook your door chains
