Trailer Question

[Jacqueline]

I was wondering if anyone could give me a good answer on this question verses relying on google.

How many calves can a 20ft trailer haul?

If the calves are anywhere from 1-4 weeks old ?

I appreciate your help !

Unless they are stacked on top of each other, you can't overload it.

Cattle trailers are built to carry as many mature animals as can be squeezed into them. Animals a lot heavier per square foot than calves.

6'8" x 20' box will fit about 8 cows at 1400#. I have put 20+ calves at 300#.

Here is a chart that I have on my trailer,

I would say that chart is accurate, but you can always fit one more . If it fits it ships.

After branding we put 40 calves in my 20 foot Wilson. They are between 2 weeks old and 3 months old. They are pretty tight but we are only going about 10 miles.
