[QUOTE="1848, post: 74552, member: 1303"] Bloat is your biggest problem. Just have an area (trailer) large enough for them to move or lay down in. Stack it deep with lots of hay. Shavings tend to blow around and get in their eyes. I have hauled cattle straight through about 12 to 14 hrs. with minimal stops. No prolems with bloat or pnuemonia. Always good to hit and animal with LA200 (injectable) or the TSV-22 (nasal). Of course Age of calf and time of year make a big difference. Some cattle haulers even haul cattle over 20 hrs. with minimal stops. If you have show haltered animals then you could do a 30 min. to an hour stop and walk them around some. Try calling ranchers who live near the route. They will sometimes let you corral animals overnight while you are on your way. So, you could drive "x" hours, then stop, keep them overnight, then load and go in the morning. Plus you get to visit an operation and the people while you're at it.. :) [/QUOTE]
