I looked at a gamic 14 foot trailer, thought it was a better sheep trailer as cattle. Looked very narrow for cattle with them standing un sheep deck.

How do they 14 foot falcon trailers compare to ifor Williams trailer? They look cracking.

I wouldn’t disagree with that, although the current Gamic models have a far narrower lip around the deck, so not losing that inch all round for cattle.
If you regularly move sheep, the hydraulic decks really are revolutionary though, and worth losing an inch for imo.
