A downer cow is an emergency. Never transport an animal that cannot stand on its own.
Cattle
Species-specific transport rules. The full long-form guide is still being written — the critical rules below are authoritative and reflect current Steampunk Farms practice.
Top Rules
- Health certificate required for crossing state lines (varies by state)
- Non-slip trailer floor; horn-safe partitions as applicable
- Load calmly; flight zones are wider than most people assume
- Never transport intact bulls with other animals
Full guide coming soon
We’re expanding this into a long-form guide covering vehicle selection, loading techniques, temperature thresholds, species-specific paperwork, and partner facilities. In the meantime, the rules above + the main Safe Animal Transport Basics guide cover the core protocols.
