Cattle Trailers in Cheyenne, Wyoming
Cheyenne anchors southeast Wyoming's ranching economy, sitting where the high plains meet the Front Range foothills. Laramie County and the surrounding counties run cow-calf operations across vast stretches of open range, often moving cattle long distances between summer pasture, winter feed grounds, and the sale barn. Wyoming ranching operates at a different scale than most of the country — bigger pastures, longer hauls, and weather that can turn hard in a hurry. That combination demands a cattle trailer built to survive years of gravel ranch roads, high-wind highway pulls, and brutal high-plains winters. Star Manufacturing builds cattle trailers for exactly that kind of operation, and we ship them to Cheyenne and southeast Wyoming from our plant in Wharton, TX.
Why Southeast Wyoming Ranchers Choose Star Manufacturing
Every Star Manufacturing cattle trailer starts with a 5/16" thick, 3x5 heavy angle frame that's seam welded, not stitch welded, giving it a continuous structural bond that holds up under sustained stress from washboard roads and long interstate miles. Components are laser cut and tabbed-and-slotted for a precise fit before welding, so the trailer holds tight tolerances year after year instead of loosening up after a few hard seasons.
- 5/16" heavy angle steel frame, seam welded for structural integrity
- Laser cut, tabbed and slotted components for a precision fit
- Full hot dip galvanized option — the entire trailer submerged in molten zinc
- Bar top livestock configuration built for airflow and cattle visibility
- Available in 6'8", 7', and 7'6" widths
- Lengths from 14' up to 40' for large commercial cow-calf operations
Galvanized Protection for High Plains Winters
Cheyenne is famous for wind, and that wind drives snow and road salt/sand into every seam of a trailer running I-25 and I-80 through the winter. Add hard freeze-thaw cycling at 6,000+ feet elevation, and a painted trailer's finish can start failing within just a few Wyoming winters. Our full hot dip galvanized process submerges the entire trailer — frame, gates, floor structure, all of it — in a bath of molten zinc, forming a coating that's metallurgically bonded to the steel rather than sitting on top like paint. For ranchers running cattle across exposed high-plains country, galvanized construction is the difference between a trailer that looks rough after five years and one that still looks and performs like new.
Serving Cheyenne and Southeast Wyoming
We regularly deliver to ranches across Laramie, Goshen, Platte, and Albany counties. Cheyenne's position at the junction of I-25 and I-80 makes it a natural hub for cattle and equipment moving across southeast Wyoming and into northern Colorado.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you deliver cattle trailers to Cheyenne, Wyoming?
Yes. Star Manufacturing regularly delivers hot dip galvanized and painted cattle trailers to Cheyenne and surrounding Laramie County ranches from our plant in Wharton, TX.
Is galvanized worth it for a Wyoming ranch trailer?
Yes — high-plains wind, snow, road salt, and freeze-thaw cycling corrode painted steel much faster than expected at Wyoming elevations. Galvanized trailers hold up significantly longer under those conditions.
What sizes are available for large Wyoming ranch operations?
We build cattle trailers from 14' to 40' in 6'8", 7', and 7'6" widths, suitable for cow-calf outfits moving pairs to summer range as well as large commercial operations hauling to sale barns.
