It’s great when things like this turn out goodðŸ‘
Interesting that this got posted since last week we had a wreck with one of our gooseneck trailers where the slider gate opened up on the road. We were moving yearlings from one pasture to another 13 miles away since the grass disappeared due to the drought. My brother was driving and seven of the 21 head made it out before he noticed and stopped. He was slowing down for a stop sign so it wasn’t a high speed situation at least. We managed to rope three of them in the ash lagoon of the power plant and get them back in a trailer. Two showed up in the neighbors herd the other day and two are still roaming loose. A few sc****s was the only injuries to them besides a rope burn on me from catching them which I thought was great.
We rigged up a safety chain on the two trailers with sliders so hopefully this is the first and last issue of something like this for us.
