THE COMMERCIAL PLT WAS FLYING THREE PASSENGERS TO BUY CATTLE. DURING TAKEOFF FROM A 5,000 X 75 FT, WET GRAVEL AIRSTRIP, THE PLT ELECTED TO USE ONLY THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RWY TO AVOID MUD. HE USED A SOFT FIELD TAKEOFF, WITH A NOSE HIGH ATTITUDE, WHICH LIMITED HIS FORWARD VISIBILITY. HE DID NOT NOTICE SEVERAL PILES OF GRAVEL ALONG THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RWY.
