Cattle Trailers in Boise, Idaho
Idaho is one of the country's most significant cattle and dairy states, and Boise sits at the center of it as the commercial and transportation hub for the Treasure Valley. Southwest Idaho runs everything from large cow-calf operations in the high desert to some of the biggest dairies in the country in the Magic Valley region to the east. All of that livestock moves — between pasture and feedlot, between dairies and processing, between ranches and the sale barn — and it moves on trailers that have to handle irrigated valley mud in spring, dry desert dust in summer, and hard winter freezes. Star Manufacturing builds cattle trailers for that kind of year-round demand, and we ship to Boise and southwest Idaho from our plant in Wharton, TX.
Why Idaho Ranchers and Dairies Choose Star Manufacturing
Every Star Manufacturing trailer starts with a 5/16" thick, 3x5 heavy angle frame that's seam welded for a continuous structural bond, standing up to years of daily use hauling between dairy, feedlot, and pasture. Components are laser cut and tabbed-and-slotted for a precise fit before welding, so the trailer holds its tolerances through heavy, repeated commercial use.

- Available in 6'8", 7', and 7'6" widths
- Lengths from 14' up to 40' for large commercial dairy and cattle operations
Galvanized Protection for Idaho's Mixed Climate
Southwest Idaho throws a lot at a trailer: irrigation moisture and manure exposure around dairies, road salt on I-84 and local highways through winter, and hard freeze-thaw cycling. Dairy and feedlot environments especially are corrosive — manure acids and ammonia break down painted finishes faster than most ranchers expect. Our full hot dip galvanized process submerges the entire trailer — frame, gates, floor structure — in molten zinc, forming a coating that's metallurgically bonded to the steel rather than sitting on top like paint. For commercial operations running trailers hard, day in and day out, galvanized construction is the difference between replacing a trailer in five years and running it for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you deliver cattle trailers to Boise, Idaho?
Yes. Star Manufacturing regularly delivers hot dip galvanized and painted cattle trailers to Boise and Treasure Valley operations from our plant in Wharton, TX.
Is galvanized worth it for an Idaho dairy or feedlot trailer?
Yes — manure acids, ammonia exposure, and heavy winter road salt corrode painted steel much faster in dairy and feedlot environments. Galvanized trailers hold up significantly longer under daily commercial use.
What sizes are available for large Idaho dairy and cattle operations?
We build cattle trailers from 14' to 40' in 6'8", 7', and 7'6" widths, suitable for commercial dairies and large cow-calf operations moving significant head counts.
