Suggestions of alternative nouns for cattle

[Tiddlypom]

Please humour me .

On another thread about old Rice horse trailers I reminisced about once nearly buying a secondhand Rice Farmers Hunt rear unload trailer which had the additional strengthening to the sides so it was suitable to transport cattle.

It was an optional upgrade and the trailer name had an additional word in after Farmers Hunt denoting that it was suitable for cattle. I am now lying awake at nights wondering what the darn word was .

I ‘think’ it was to do with young cattle.

Anyone help me out? If anyone remembers the actual trailer that would be a bonus!

Stirk?

I thought you were looking for alternative NEW nouns. I was going to suggest "a horror of dairy cows" and "a chaos of bullocks". I'm slightly disappointed that this isn't actually what you wanted.

It wasn't a Dexter was it?

 

[Tiddlypom]

Stirk?

It wasn't a Dexter was it?

Both good suggestions, thank you, but sadly not.

It’s right on the tip of my tongue, it’s driving me nuts.

Lee Mac had a good one on I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue. Well, two, actually:

A group of cows = befuddle

A homosexual ox = gable

I haven't stopped giggling about it all morning.

... little things. Little things. And completely not what you were looking for.

Are you sure it was cattle? Tups? Hoggets?

 

[Tiddlypom]

It was definitely for cattle and horses, not sheep. The sides were significantly reinforced compared to the standard Farmers Hunt, which was itself a beast of a trailer.

You’d get two big hunters in easily.

I’m pretty sure that there was no double decking for sheep.

 

[Gloi]

Neat
Beasts

 

[CanteringCarrot]

"Dogies"

Does anyone even use that term?

Cattle beasts?

I'm invested in this now, btw

I have to say my first thought was steers, that's what used to come through my dad's cattle market. However regional dialect varies and, i believe, Rice-Richardson was a Yorkshire company so you might need someone from that area to suggest!
A google of the trailer has brought up the name Rice Beaufort Farmers Hunt trailer which is another of their common brand names (I'm thinking beaufort treble which I remember)

 

[marmalade76]

Stockman?

 

[ycbm]

Taurus?

Next door, who DID sometimes use his RFH to take cattle, always called it “t’ trailer”....
I’ll ask his daughter if she remembers, bound to have been new when they bought it from Rice because all their stuff was.
Definitely single tier, plenty of room for two heavies, double floor, needs a Landrover to pull ( or Range Rover when they got invented!)

Bovines?
