Cattle Trailers in Baton Rouge & South Louisiana
Louisiana cattle producers deal with some of the most challenging conditions for steel equipment in the country. The combination of year-round humidity, frequent rainfall, coastal saltwater intrusion in the southern parishes, and standing water in low-lying pastures means that painted cattle trailers start losing the rust battle early. For East Baton Rouge, West Baton Rouge, Livingston, St. Helena, and Pointe Coupee parish operators, the decision to buy galvanized isn't about a premium finish — it's about not replacing a rusted trailer in 7 years.
Star Manufacturing in Wharton, TX builds cattle trailers with full hot-dip galvanizing as a standard process — not an optional upgrade. Every trailer we build is submerged in molten zinc so the protection is metallurgical, not cosmetic.
The Star Manufacturing Difference
- 5/16" thick, 3×5 heavy angle steel frame — built heavier than typical cattle trailer competition
- Seam welded — full-length welds on every structural joint, not tack welded
- Full hot-dip galvanized — 830°F molten zinc bath; every surface including interior tubing is protected
- Laser-cut components — tabbed and slotted for precision fit that stays tight over years of use
- 14' to 40' sizes — from small parish operations to large commercial ranches

Louisiana Livestock Markets
South Louisiana has active livestock auction activity, with markets serving cow-calf producers across the Feliciana parishes and the River Road country. The ability to haul cattle to market in a clean, corrosion-resistant trailer — and hose it down without worrying about accelerating rust — is a real operational advantage. Star Manufacturing's galvanized build means your trailer can go through the pressure washer after every load without concern.
