I sure wasn't thinking that either by the time I finally reached the pickup with the second load, even though it was only 1.3 miles as the crow flies!

There is, however, a BIG difference between a 2 1/2 year old rag bull and a mature 6x6. I can get a raghorn or mature cow out in two trips normally (the femur and humerus are the only bones I carry out, and no hide). A mature bull??? it'll often take 4 trips, depending on how rough it is.
