Slippin, here are my thoughts.... 1. Being an old cowboy first! Cattle panels in the floor are NOT GOOD! They will jerk shoes off of a horses hoof faster than a good farrier can refit them! Plus they are a pain to clean, only way is to power wash. 2 Slats: work well but are less of a pain to clean than the cattle panel opition. 3 I have seen guys take a brand New trailer or Floor, heat up Tar and throw on pea gravel. It is sure enough a good rough floor not too much chance of stock sliding down. But you will add 200 lbs or so of wt to the trailer standing wt. 4 Best opition IMO is a clean floor on a trailer, wash it out regularly!!!! I have hauled a lot of cattle in various weather condition, with my trailer and others too. I always had more problems with trailers of others for they would never clean them out! I don't know what it is with folks seems to me they want the guys at the Coffee Shop to see they were actually doing something with their trailer so they left all the manure in it, strung down the outside of the trailer to the point the trailer starts rotting out. A clean trailer is the best way to keep cattle upright, Followed by not driving like a Drunken Indian going to a Fire! Hope this helps! Later, John A. PS.... I may have gone to meddeling here,But,,, Part of how cattle exit a trailer is directly related to how they are handled prior to an during loading. Weather the guys loading are hotshoting and whipping on them and shouting and scaring the thunder out of them. You load up a bunch of gassed up cattle and they will exit that trailer in the same gassed up fashion. Load easy, unload by opening the gates and let the cattle ease out of the trailer. No loud talking or shouting at the time of unloading. JAS.
