do you travel cattle with partitions if they are different ages/sex? can you put them in together if they are same age - even if they are horned? thanks

i wonder why you can get horse partitions for a cattle trailer but not side gates on a horse trailer. - or can you?
i have a perfectly good 505 pony trailer but its not legal for cattle without the sidegates.

It might sound daft but can you not make some side gates. what do you want to do with your cows i used a horsebox to move my highlands from one field to another no problem use gates or hurdles.

we need a trailer for a show coming up, plus abattoir - where im told trading standards can inspect the transport and refuse entry without side gates. i do worry if im not legal.

you don't need to partition off cattle who are a similar size, if a calf and cow though i'd partition the calf up front then walk the cow in. If a heifer was bulling i'd be inclined to split her from the others to prevent injuries. Always let the cattle mix at least 24 hours before loading preferably longer to allow for the herd to sort out hierarchy.

Horned cattle ... i de-horn mine but i have witnessed long horns and highland loaded together in boxes but don't mix de-horned cattle with horned cattle as the de-horned ones don't know the dangers.

Bulls i have only ever carried bulls either on there own or mixed with other bulls. Don't mix bulls with other cattle though or have a double partition between them.
