I'm told that Dad had a rig like the 2nd unit in the first picture - a Model T with a home-made trailer behind it. One day he sent the 2 hired men to the stockyards with a load of hogs that he had counted a couple times when they loaded them.
When the check came from the stockyards, he was short for 1 hog. Stockyards said that their count was right, so Dad figured that one pig got out when the hired men drove around a curve. He drove by the place and saw one pig the same color as his in the pen with a bunch of pigs of a different color.
Dad said that he would take the next load of hogs to market, but the hired men insisted that they would be careful and not lose one this time. When he got the check from the stockyards, the head count was 1 MORE than he had loaded. The hired men wouldn't say anything, but he figured that they went and retrieved that off-colored hog out of the neighbor's pen! Anyway, it came out even in the end and nobody ever said anything more about that.
