Problem with a closed top trailer is that you MIGHT be on there with a cow and need to climb out. A better solution is to have a side gate in the front. Good for sorting cow, also for leading something on the trailer with feed and getting out by the door. I have led them on with feed and climbed over the side and went around to close the gate. NOT with bulls or grown cows.

Gate swings to chute the chute off going to the loading ramp. When gate is open the cows get in the habit of going out of the pen that way. When loading something I close the outside gate and the cows start down the chute expecting to escape the pen, only to find they are going on the trailer.
