Cattle Trailers in Boerne, Texas
Boerne anchors Kendall County just northwest of San Antonio, where fast-growing exurban development butts right up against genuine Hill Country ranchland along the Cibolo Creek and Guadalupe River watersheds. Cattle operations here share the county with exotic game ranches, hobby acreage, and weekend properties, but the working ranches around Boerne, Comfort, and Sisterdale still move real cattle to auction and depend on trailers that hold up to rocky Hill Country roads.
Hill Country Terrain and Rising Land Values
Kendall County's limestone hills and cedar breaks are tough on undercarriages, and the summer heat here is relentless. As land prices climb and acreage gets subdivided, the ranchers who remain are running tighter, more efficient operations — which means equipment has to earn its keep. A 5/16" thick, 3x5 heavy angle frame, seam welded and laser cut for a tight fit, holds up to years of rough ranch-road use better than lighter production trailers.
Hot Dip Galvanized for Central Texas Heat and Humidity
San Antonio-area humidity plus intense UV exposure breaks down painted finishes faster than most owners expect. Star Manufacturing trailers are fully hot dip galvanized — the entire trailer submerged in molten zinc, not just spot-painted — so the whole frame resists corrosion and weathering for the long haul.

Serving Boerne, Comfort, and Sisterdale Ranch Country
We work with cow-calf operations, exotic game ranches, and hobby acreage owners throughout Kendall County. If you're comparing trailers built or sold locally, ask what the frame is actually made of and how it's finished — a heavier gauge and true galvanizing outlast painted steel by years, especially with Hill Country heat and rocky roads in the mix.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Boerne from Star Manufacturing's Wharton shop?
About 230 miles, roughly a 3.5 hour drive — well within our normal short-haul delivery range.
Do you build trailers for exotic game ranches around Boerne?
Yes. Our standard bar top livestock configuration works well for exotics as well as cattle, and we build to your specific sizing and gate needs.
Is galvanizing worth it for Central Texas heat?
Yes — UV exposure and humidity both accelerate paint failure over time. A fully galvanized frame resists both without the maintenance a painted trailer requires.
What size trailer fits a typical Kendall County ranch operation?
Many smaller Hill Country outfits run 20'-24' trailers for regular herd moves, while larger commercial operations near San Antonio often step up to 28'-36' for full loads to auction.
