If Maggie is a horse, you might try the equine forum. If she is a cow, hopefully there will be a good loading alley and a few swats on the backside should do the job.

If you don't have that...a loading chute...maybe there's an embankment you can back the truck or trailer into and walk her into it from there, like we do here.

Be sure you bring a halter if she's not haltered already...and a lead rope. Maybe a delectable treat for her to bribe her, if needed.

Presuming Maggie is a cow. Well a cow with a name usually is grain fed often and may have a tub that she eats from daily. Just add grain to the tub and toss it into the cattle trailer and most of the time they will eventually jump into the trailer for the food. At least that has been working for me and for some of the tame steers that I have hauled for other folks. Maggie is a friendly name and should be manageable enough to get her into your vehicle. The owner should have a plan in place if he hopes to sell his Maggie.
