Great looking bull. I also really liked the Pioneer son, Bert Moore told me I can at least pick the good ones! I would strongly suggest that if you are traveling to or through Iowa with your livestock trailer that you check the DOT requirements and meet them. I contacted their office directly before our annual trip to WHR and was told I needed the following items if I was over 10,000 GVWR: Log book, annual inspection, three warning triangles, a fire extinguisher, DOT number displayed on the vehicle. If you are a farmer, you can do the inspection yourself, but need to fill out and sign the official form. My Ford F-350 crew cab and 24 foot trailer were 500 pounds under the GVWR limit for requiring a CDL. I believe that limit is 26,000 pounds GVWR and I was 25,500 GVWR. If you exceed that limit, you must have a CDL and the accompanying annual physical, etc. A neighbor was ticketed just last week for not having a log book, even though he was hauling his own calf and was only 3 miles from home, traveling from one of his farms to another. Fine was $200. The DOT person that answered by inquiry told me I needed the items if I left the state of Iowa, so I was surprised my neighbor got his ticket. The rules apply to anyone entering the state, and most other surrounding states. I have a copy of the DOT official's reply and keep it in my pickup, just in case. Right beside the fire extinguuisher. My vets also told me that any bull entering the state of Kansas must have a trich test.
