Finding the best way to transport cattle

摘要

THERE are a large number of companies which can transport cattle for producers. When choosing an operator, producers need to know the company's operational area, as well as the type of trailer and its design features. There are several common terms for trailer systems. These include road trains comprising two to three trailers, and B-Doubles which are conventional trailers with half a trailer in front of them. Convertibles are interchangable trailers which contain two cattle or four sheep decks. There is a choice of side or through-loading trailers and a choice of cladding and floor material.Depending on the abattoir, various ramp widths are needed to offload cattle.
