NNW Nebraska | The fence corner, fence, pickup and trailer are your pen.
Put some feed in the back of trailer if you need to. Pull another pickup across the end at the front of your pickup & trailer for a gate. Use that pickup as more wing for getting the bull in, then drive it ahead to make a gate. And/or figure a way to hook a portable panel to the side of the trailer for a gate, to keep him from leaving. Take your time, don't wind him up. Believe me, there are quite a few bulls loaded out, as they are pulled from cows, this way. It is not like a trailer sitting out in the middle of the pasture, it is more like a bud box method as the bull will go in the trailer thinking he is going right back where he came in. Longer the trailer, easier they will load.
Good chance that if you drop a rope over his head he might get would up. I would do that after trying a easier way or at least after getting him locked in the pen made with the trailer .
Could even set the trailer there ahead of time.. leave trailer gate shut so they can walk on out. Put some feed there so cattle "know" they can go around the trailer and go on out by the back of the trailer. Or pull trailer ahead a few feet, put feed in trailer & leave back of it open & let then eat with no one around.
