Re:My next cattle trailer
Cattlehauler give me a price on the featherlite and i'll see if maybe me and the stepdad can work somethingout. That way we won't have to pay someone to haul ours and I could maybe run a load or two for you when i'm in. No money I just like to drive.

Re:My next cattle trailer
Nashville is about 3 1/2 or 4 hrs depending on how you want to drive. Get me the address or some directions and I'll see how hard it is to find.

Re:My next cattle trailer
One thing is for sure. Your featherlite is one good handleing trailer. I really like the cut gate release. It was very safe when getting big red out at Lexington. I miss that mean son of a limosine cow.

Re:My next cattle trailer
CH, ever hear of Eastern Cattle Company?<br><br>It's owned by the Gibson family which lives here in good old Lanesville. 
I hauled for them a few times a couple years back and those guys are nuts. 
They have an old white 32' triaxle steel trailer that I pulled and those crazy SOB's cramed 35 head on that thing. 
They averaged 600lbs apeace.<br><br>I was hauling to another one of their farms in Bowling Green KY. I quit hauling for them when my truck almost slid over a bank and into a creek with 31 head on it. After that I had enough. [undecided]<br><br>You might want to check out Sooner trailers too, they make a good trailer. <br><br>DB

Re:My next cattle trailer
here is a bigger pic of the trailer I am getting , except mine has two more runs of the punched pan vents. I got the exter light opion of 16 more marker lights. They give me kinda like a blue print of the trailer and I mark on it where I want the marker lights.
