Got neighbor's medium sized bull hauled to sale yesterday. Actually it's an older sale barn used as a transshipment facility for the sale 40 miles away. I had tried to move him before Christmas. He was penned and jumped up on the metal gate and mashed it down. The loading chute sloped down hill and I couldn't back up without spinning on the damp grass so we had gone to the trouble to unhook the trailer and hitch it to neighbor's tractor when we noticed bull was out. Same conditions this time but we hooked the trailer to the tractor before penning the bull and got it in place and hooked back up to the truck. The bull loaded easily. He found he couldn't jump over the 6 1/2 foot sides of the trailer. Got him unloaded at barn. After getting tagged he decided he didn't like being in the chute, walked up to a gate in the chute and jumped over it flat footed. He was still penned in and the guys were able to get him turned around and headed back down the chute to a pen. I don't know how high the solid steel sides and gate are on the chute, estimate 4 1/2-5 feet high, but he jumped it with no trouble. Didn't break down the steel gate though. Not the worst experience I've had moving cows and now it's done.
