We drove cows 3-4 miles to a rented pasture when I was a kid. There were no goose neck livestock trailers back then, it was straight trucks or semis to haul cattle.
A few years back we left elk camp and were just south of Carbondale, Colorado. There was about 200 cows that a family was driving down a busy 2-lane highway. 8 mounted riders, including grandma and grandpa down to grandkids that were maybe six years old. They had about 200 yards they had to come down the highway, and they only stopped traffic maybe 5 minutes. People in SUVs with the ski racks on top were losing their minds over having to wait.
