Best Answer

Typically you can safely haul cattle in a horse trailer, however there does tend to be more breakable parts in a trailer made specifically for horses than one made specifically for cattle. A horse trailer also tends to be slightly more confined with compartment areas for each horse, however these can usually be adjusted slightly to fit different sizes. If you will be hauling both cattle and horses in the same trailer it would be preferable to get a 'hybrid' trailer that is designed for both cattle and horses.

What To Look For When Buying A Cattle Trailer?

When you are a farmer, some of your greatest assets are your cattle. There are times when you need to move the cattle from one location to another, and you need to make sure that are able to do so. This is when you need a great truck and a great trailer to haul your livestock in. However, you need to know what to look for when buying a cattle trailer.You need to look at what condition the trailer is in. When you are the farming business, you end up buying a lot of used equipment to save some money. This also goes for when you are looking to buy a cattle trailer. You need to make sure that the trailer is well taken care of, and that there are no major issues with the trailer. The first things to look for are signs of rust and any damage on the inside. If there is no rust or visible damage, then you need to check the underside to make sure the trailer is safe to take on the road. If all of that checks out, then you need to check to see if the trailer meets your needs.Does the new trailer meet your needs? That is the major question you need to know to look for when buying a cattle trailer. If you only have two bulls, you do not need a trailer that could fit 6 bulls and some sows. The trailer should also be just the right size for your vehicle to pull. The bigger the trailer is the bigger the truck you need to pull that trailer. You should check the trailer to see if it meets the needs of your farm. You should also look for some simple safety devices inside the trailer to help keep your property safe while you are on the move. Does the trailer separate the animals? Is there a place to store some equipment? Could you get back to the animals safely? Those are some of the questions you need to keep in your mind when you look to buy a cattle trailer.You need to take into account several things while looking for a new cattle trailer. You need to know what size of trailer you need to purchase. You need to also check to make sure that the trailer is in great condition and able to be taken on the road.


How dangerous or safe is transporting a horse in a stock rack via pickup and do you have any considerations or tips?

I'm not sure what a stock rack is, but I think you're talking about putting the horse in the bed of the pickup with a rack or bars for the perimeter. If that is what you had in mind I'd have to say pass on this. I don't even know how you would get a horse up that high. Even a pickup that has not been raised is still to high to safely get your horse in it. Always opt for the a trailer that is meant to haul horses and a pickup truck that is heavy enough with a large enough engine to pull a trailer with a horse combined.


Other than transporting livestock are there other jobs for which a cattle trailer might be used?

Yes! A cattle trailer is a great all around utility hauling trailer to have. Not only will it take care of all your animal hauling needs, it is also great to move any large items. Its a safe and secure way to move almost anything that will fit!

How much can a tandem axle utility trailer carry?

The definitive answer is...it depends. Very few trailers are made with axels of 2000lb (or less) capacity. Most are 2500 to 5000 llbs (per axle). So if you have a dual axle trailer with two 3500 lb axles you can haul 7000 lbs MINUS what the trailer weighs. I have a single axle 6X12 with a single 3500 lb axle. The trailer weighs approx 500 lbs, so I would feel relatively safe hauling a 3000 lb load.
