Well Roger got stopped by the DOT a few weeks back after taking some cattle to Manchester, I wish he would not have had to go though that. The DOT officer said "it was the perfect stop" aka lots of ticket potential . It wasn't pretty for the over 20 year old stock trailer we have.... The inspection led to the purchase of a new trailer from S & S Duraline in Elma, Ia(plug). Did you know you can buy 2 steel trailers, put some money into repairing them over the years and still not achieve the price of a new aluminum trailer? Well we started experimenting to see what this trailer can haul... Lawn mower, feed, seed corn, and guess what? Gilts! Yup, we had to try some hogs to we went up to Marland Farms(plug) and bought a few bred gilts just to make sure. So our local DOT officer made us back into hog farmers, funny how things happen. And I would be real surprised if we don't have piglet pics on here by the end of the week. I wonder if the DOT man eats bacon?
