[QUOTE="chippie, post: 970520, member: 5644"] Is that one way or round trip? Do you realize how long you will be on the road with the cow/calf? Are you going to stop somewhere halfway and stay the night or drive straight through? Please be aware that while pulling a trailer, you shouldn't go as fast as you would in a car, so the trip will take longer than planned. One of our daughters lives about 550 miles from us. It will take me well over 12 hours driving time pulling a trailer going to her house. The fuel costs will be expensive. Is the cow halter broke? You will need to haul them separately so that the cow will not step on the calf. Haul the cow loose in a trailer where she has room to lay down if she wants to. You will need to tie her if there is not enough room for her to turn around safely and lay down. Bed the trailer. If you are driving straight through, you will need to stop several times for the calf to nurse. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
