    Helps if they run up right. Work one gate off the other and you'll wedge them up.

    A heavy guage double barrel is what you would feel like using when the last ones arse is still a foot outside the trailer and there isnt enough power left in you to heft her in that last bit :rolleyes:

    Load it down a slope if you can.

    I was loading a cow earlier and there was heaps ofspace if she would have gone across the trailer but the bitch stood like that and stayed lacing the gate. Had to let them all out again and get her up the front of the trailer.

    Regrouping is no harm for the blood pressure , alot better than bursting wavin anyhow

    I usually give the last one a jab of my prod, and up she goes :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,428 ✭✭✭epfff


    And the answer is
    18 maybe 1 more if you struggle
