Several things.
1) I will NEVER haul cattle in an open top trailer or truck. No solid roof then no haul. I have seen too many cows and bulls jump/climb out over the top of trucks or trailers will open tops.
2) Every bull I have ever owned is halter broke. Moving or loading them is no issue. Just lead them on the trailer or truck. It also makes doctoring them easier too. My current bull is a 5 year old Angus bull he weight right at 2500 lbs. You can lead him right into the head gate.
Funny thing on this bull. I sold some semen from him a few years ago. I took him to Ames to be collected. I pulled up and asked them where they wanted me to unload him. They asked me what he weight. I told them. They started dragging out these GREAT big tall heavy gates and all. I asked them what all that was for??? They said to hold your bull. I told them not this bull. HECK he was standing halter tied in the front of the trailer. I just lead him right in to the collecting chute. Those guys just stood there with their mouths hanging open. LOL I understand their view point. Many LARGE bulls are hard to control. I also think that mine get used to being moved to "new" girl friends. LOL So they are pretty easy to load.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
