i weighed somewhere in the 40k lb range... i had just got knocked out cold in the trailer i was trying to pin my divide gate the cows hit it and bonked me on the head... i'm pretty tough and it knocked me silly.. wasnt really paying attention forgot about the stop sign... i still had time to stop though if the brakes would have activated... put it all together and it ended up bad... at least i got insurance... and didnt get a ticket... AND EVERYONE WAS OK..

yeah that is a sicking feeling being loaded and stepping on the brakes and feeling no trailer brakes. I have had it happen to me several times . Glad you are ok from the wreck and that the other person was not hurt. But i got a little chuckle from the divider gate part cause i know how bad that hurts.
