Livestock Danger

When it comes to livestock safety, as it relates to hauling them over the highways, we have done so many stories. The rules are just common good sense. If you're hauling livestock, pigs, cattle, horses, sheep, you name it, remember that your animals need water, your animals are very susceptible to heat and other elements. So we've had various experts advising about how often you should stop and water them, how often you should stop on a hot day and perhaps hose them down, as I said, just good common sense. But who would have known that another type of livestock safety would enter the picture as it did in Colorado last week. I was online and read in northernag.net and article with the headline: “Two Men, Several Cattle Killed After Four Semis Crash in Colorado”.Two men and a number of cattle were killed in Colorado this week when a semi-truck veered into oncoming traffic on a two-lane highway and crashed into three semi-trucks in a row.??The semi drivers from Mansfield, Texas, were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash just east of Hugo, Colorado, according to f the Colorado State Patrol.????When the accident happened, three semis were headed eastbound on the highway, approaching the other which was headed west.
