We always hauled small quantities in the back of the pickup. Animals for slaughter, etc. With slide in stock racks that meant you had to have a loading chute. We had one on wheels we could pull from place to place, but you never see those now either.
I can also tell you that if any feeder steer stepped on the tailgate of my pickup now it wouldn't be long for this world. They just aren't built like the 73 Chevy we used with slide ins. There's nothing like driving down a two land and the cow moves to the other side and changes the lean of the pickup. I was always pretty sure we were going to die when we put those racks in. I hated them.
We also used to tape up the tail gate on the 73 and haul grain in it when the big truck was backed up at the elevator. They took the lift out of the elevator long ago here, so I am guessing you would be doing lots of shoveling now.
