I've helped use a flat bed like this before. It's a fact of farm life I think. It was used to transport a dairy cow that had paralyzed it's two hind legs in pregnancy to the butcher. However, we had the decency to cover the cow with a tarp so there were no animal activists who got too nosey on the way. Why, you ask? Because it's much easier to lift a 1500 pound cow onto a flatbed than into the back of a cattle trailer. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

I hear the "having to do what you have to do" bit loud and clear. But I think a tarp covering her would be a good idea, the last thing we need right now in the cattle business right now is more bad press.




Besides, this might be one of the last cows you see transported this way. Don't be suprised if there is no slaughter of "down" cows anymore, effective REAL SOON!!!

If she can't walk onto the kill floor she'll probably be pet food.

I agree, I live in cattle/ranching country and the industry is on the brink of disaster......hopefully things will start looking up very soon before people lose everything. Good luck to all you farmers and ranchers out there....
