Subject: updated thoughts on new 7/24 stock trailer

west central Ohio

first of all thanks for all the replys.
the wilson foreman is the one that can be wider than 7ft and they are out till 11-11-17.
i sold mine used trailer this past weekend so i cant wait that long.

so it looks like a ranch hand from wilson 7x24, i can get one of these in early september made the way i want it.

was really thinking of only one cut gate but for 850$ it might be nice to have another one there just in case i want it on that occasion when only hauling one bull or cow or steer to the custom butchering shop.

removing the front rolling cut gate reduces the price by about 2000$
and adding in a regular cut gate adds about 850$

so i think ill order one with two cut gates, one 10 ft from the rear and the other 6 ft from the front.
the rear one having a slider in it. intending to use the rear one the most and seldom use the front one.

the first two vents in the front adds about 200$ and the next two adds about 60$, figure that one out
so i think ill get four front vents for that price. will that be too many ? ill try to attach pic of them

the one thing i not sure of is the side patterns. how many rows of holes are needed.
it seems most cattle trailers today have holes only in the upper portion. possibly so that the outside stays cleaner ?

dirtyboots suggested one with many side holes, with the only drawl back being some crap on the outside of the trailer.

wilson has six options, ill try to attach pic of each.

which side pattern do you like best and why?

thanks. any other suggestion are welcome.

ya know it would be cheaper to borrow my neighbors, but he might be waiting on me to buy a new one so he can use mine ;)
