What's a ballpark figure per mile for hauling fat cattle or feeders?

will depend on the miles, and how easy you are to work with, and loading facitites.

Haven't had any cattle professionally hauled for quite some time so I don't know what trucking rates are. If you don't have that many and can round up enough pickups and trailers around here it's a lot of neighbors helping neighbors type of thing. Fill their rigs up with fuel and buy lunch in town and call it good.

A coworker just showed me a bill he received for 30 steers, 27 heifers (not sure of the weights), for 320 miles @ $3.80 mile.

We've been paying $3.00 loaded mile to a guy with a 30' triple axle gooseneck and at that price I can't afford to haul them ourselves.

triples.

Kinda depends on scheduling.
If they can come to Dodge City, Liberal or Cactus loaded from the N then go home with cattle, that helps everyone.

$100 load fee if under 100 miles, plus what ever fuel prices are, that is the price per mile. This June I payed $ 4 a loaded mile. This is for semi, for gooseneck trailers before fuel went crazy guys used to charge $10 per head for cows to take to auction. That was for a 60 or even 80 mile trip.

WY, OK
$3 a loaded mile is a steal, haven't seen anything under $4 for a while now.

King City, Mo
My buddy hauls with a pickup and 30ft gooseneck triple axle for $2.50 a loaded mile. Longer runs he goes down to 2-2.25 cuz he doesn't have to reload. He will not go into iowa and were in northwest mo.

Cattle pots have a $350 min on short hauls and like $3.xx a loaded mile around here.
