As some of you know, my trailer was totaled when I was rear-ended by an 18 wheeler a couple of months ago. It was 7' x 20' with one interior gate. I loved that trailer.
... however ... it seemed like it was either too big or too small for most of the things I was wanting to do.
I have been considering getting a 24' trailer with two interior gates (especially if one of the interior gates is pushed closer to the front for calves or a single bull, leaving two other compartments for cows) ... or ... getting a smaller trailer that may or may not have an interior gate, and hiring someone if/when we need to move a group that's bigger than a small handful of critters (or, running more than one trip).
If you had to choose between having one trailer that was big enough to do everything you wanted (even if it was too big for most of your moves) ... or ... a trailer that would handle 80+% of your hauling needs (where the other hauls could be covered by hiring someone else or making multiple trips) ... what would you do?

Relatedly, anyone know of a good trailer (floor, wiring, welds, minimal rust, pulls straight, brakes, etc.) in/near the SW corner of Kansas City? I've been pounding CL for the last month or so ... no luck yet.
