Thread: Want Some Beef?

The Gilbert, eastbound on the Development road woke me up the first time I crossed it at 99.9kph with three trailers.
I wasn't wearing a seatbelt, but securely attached to the seat.

yesum, the old sphincter muscle can be applied quite quickly,..... and not as noisy as a Jake 😎

We followed a triple up there last year as it sashayed along and were impressed the driver kept it on the road. Very skilful.

A sound argument for not wearing tight jeans, I reckon.

One would need to be conscious of the fit or the Seat cushion could disappear up you know where.

A few years ago when we still had meatworks at Cannon hill someone rolled a triple deck of pigs at the Lytton Rd. roundabout. Hogs everywhere. There were quite a few missing when the body count and the live recoveries were tallied up. I reckon with the neighbouring suburbs full of workers from the abattoirs and bacon factories it would not have been hard to find someone who could kill and dress a captured hog.

Many years ago. Heard helicopter noise. Looked out the shed window to see a very large crane boom rise out of the tree canopy, far end of the property.

Into the vehicle for a look see.

The dead Brahman were already lined up, 'waiting' for the bulldozer to turn up, and with my permission dig a pit and push them in on my property.

I don't know whether cages are welded or bolted to trailer decks, whatever the case, the triple had lost the middle cage. The crane was busy putting the middle cage back on.

The stockmen were sitting on the rumps of the dead cattle, having a fag. while the blue heelers were perplexed why the cattle would not move when they were barked at. A stockman pondered what the cattle in the last trailer must have thought when they saw their mates go by. Moo!...Moo!...Mooooooo??...


And since we're on the topic of road trains and cattle. Again decades ago. Taking the 3 yr old daughter to day care. Pull up at the lights next to a triple. I said 'look at the cattle'. Just as my daughter turned her head, to look, her whole window turned brown! Lucky it was up!!

Stock crates are generally welded and prone to corrosion due to the effluent to which they are subjected.
I once saw a similar "insecure load" incident outside the Royal Brisbane Hospital, only it involved a single trailer, a police car and liquid matter. It was in the days before air conditioning and electric windows were standard fare. By the time the poor copper finished madly cranking up the window, the show(er) was over.

And why those of us who've lived in the bush stay a good 100m behind a cattle truck of any description!
