89 cows on a semi? They had to be crammed in there like sardines. And with that much weight, it was top-heavy. So when the numbskull driver took the ramp at excess speed, it rolled over. It’s elementary, Watson.

Most cattle hauling semis are double decker. Cows on both levels. IF you don’t have them somewhat tight, then they can move around too much, and on any kind of turn, they can all sway or move & can cause the center of balance of the rig to go over.

I have hauled horses for over 33 years. 2 horse trailers, 4 horse trailer, 6 horse gooseneck. I never take a corner fast & am careful on tight curves. Horses can shift in the trailer & cause problem in an instant.

Never had a problem. Hope I never do.

YES. Citations should be in order.

Unless it was a load of cute lil milk fed tender cow puppies that are so delicious.
