We did that with one that was dead and skinned.
A dairy farmer who I used to ride to co op meetings with was telling one time about taking one to MSU for autopsy,dead already of course. He had it in the back of the pickup with the feet in the air. Said he got lost on campus and ended up way down by the law school. That had to be embarrassing. lol

It looks like a happy cow to me. At least at that moment.

Reminds me of a logger that I know. He hauled a dead beef for his neighbor to be cut up. A Game Warden pulled them over and tried to ticket them for possessing a "moose" without the proper tags. They were all to willing to accept the ticket and go see the judge ASAP with Bessie the cow still in the back of the pickup. The Game Warden saved a little face by letting them go, but ended up transferring away soon after.

Thats is off the chain funny LOL
I hauled a 1200 lb steer like that once. I went sixty miles with it to MSU. Mine was dead and I put a tarp over it, nobody had a clue what it was. Since I loaded it dead with the loader tractor and they unload it with an overhead crane it was better than putting him in the livestock trailer.
A friend of mine had a rather nasty longhorn bull get out of the pasture that ended up almost 10 miles away from home. A vet shot him with tranquilizer darts and he went down. He was then loaded onto a rollback truck and tied down. They raced back to the farm to get him in the pen before the shots wore off.
By the law school? must of been not that long ago, I grew up in the Lansing area, graduated from MSU and my Mom, Aunt and Brother are retired from MSU, Wife worked at MSU when we meet, I don't know where the law school is although I hear it's not called the Detroit School of Law anymore.
I had a heifer get bred early once and was not big enough to have a calf. We parted the calf and pulled it. She was paralyzed and could not get up. We loaded her in the back of our '77 Chevy half ton pickup and didn't even tie her down. She just sat up and rode the 2 miles home. We worked with her for a couple of weeks and got her back up and walking. I wish we would have taken a picture.

Neighbor had a cow go down he had left the kids in charge well they didn't know what to do so I round up another neighbor shot and butchered the cow also went to a neighbor who was gone on vacation and got his loader tractor to load the cow into the back of the truck and proceeded to an Amish butcher who didn't ask many questions. I took the long way around town and the Amish that was with me who did the butchering asked me why we didn't go through town I asked him how would you explain a butchered cow in the back and we can't get in touch with the owner .

Lol!! my dog does that but a horse?
I had a dead cow that the vet said to take to U of MN vet school for autopsy. When I loaded it into the F150, it fell in just like it was sitting down. Vet advised me to tarp it- I didn"t. Looked perfectly normal sitting there. Got some strange looks going down I35, especially when I passed a school bus!

Yeah, I mean if you think about it, how often do you see a law officer in your normal everyday travels? I run 25 miles each way across town on an expressway to work and back, and I might encounter a trooper on the road maybe once a week on average.
I rarely see a law officer on secondary roads, and I have to go by the town police headquarters and a sheriff's substation to go just about anywhere! Except of course yesterday when I didn't come to a complete stop at a stop sign in a neighborhood, and look up in my rearview mirror to see a Sheriff's deputy rolling up 2 cars back... He left me alone, but I know he saw me do it.

I'm not sure if I am disappointed or relieved that the usual insurance police haven't chimed in with a rant about insurance. I would have bet that this couldn't get to two pages without an insurance rant.

Pretty sure that animal is no longer alive, or at least heavily sedated. Judging from the leg positions, it would have had to lie down that way on the trailer.
It reminds me of pulling a dump-trailer load of manure to a friend's garden, and being stuck at the stoplight next to a convertible load of couples on their way to prom, the truck driver gets way more enjoyment of the situation than the neighboring vehicle.

I had a guy up here thought the same thing when he was moving a doublewide trailer with a tractor at 6AM on a Sunday morning. No permits, flat tires, on a road that he had been denied use of by the Town due to the fact he was going to have to cross a couple of culverts that would require pulling up the guide rails and because he refused to pay the $10.00 for a town permit. Yet, there I was, big as life in the DOT van. And I hadn't had my coffee yet.....
