Cattle were arranged to stand for days under sun and rain until the final destination. Over 94% of respondents transported their animals in 1-3 days. Also, 60%parked breeds, different sizes, homed and polled cattle together in the same truck during transportation. 3.75%, 5%, 7.5% and 83.75% of handlers respectively transported their cattle in the morning, afternoon evening and at any time of the day. Cattle were loaded and off-loaded by dragging, pulling and pushing.
