The two most common animals hauled by livestock trailers are horses and cattle but they can be used for many different animals; pigs need transport too! With such a wide array of livestock trailers available, it is important to first identify exactly what the trailer will be needed for. If it will be used to transport different sizes of animals, always pick one that will work for the largest ones. It will be a lot easier to fit pigs into a horse trailer than it would be to get horses into a trailer only tall enough to accommodate pigs! Once the right sizes are chosen, it is important to consider what kind of features the livestock trailers should have. Some common things that should be kept in mind are: the length of any trips the livestock trailers are taken on, weather conditions, and the possibility that the trailer could act as a temporary living quarters for the animals. Many people prefer livestock trailers with gaps in the sides for short trips because they let the sunlight in and keep the animals warm during the trip. Animals also tend to be less wary of places with better lighting. On the other hand, cold weather and a long trip could mean that a more open livestock trailer is uncomfortable and cold for the animals in transport. Animal owners should consider the most common traveling conditions for trips on which the livestock trailer will be used and come to a comfortable compromise for both animals and owners. Many people use livestock trailers to take horses and cattle to shows and races. Were something to go wrong with the living quarters at the tracks, the livestock trailer might have to suffice as a temporary stall for the animals. Not everybody travels to such shows or races but for those who do this is something to keep in mind. Choosing livestock trailers that will help keep show animals comfortable is something that participants in these events should consider, as happy animals are better performers. Livestock trailers are made out of a variety of materials and come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Choosing the right kinds of livestock trailers can be as simple as keeping a budget and the needs of the animals in mind.
