Cattle Trailers in Fargo, North Dakota
Fargo sits in the Red River Valley on North Dakota's eastern edge, a region known primarily for row-crop farming but home to plenty of diversified operations running cattle alongside grain and sugar beets. Cass County and the surrounding valley counties see cattle move to auction, to backgrounding lots, and between pasture and farmstead as part of mixed-use operations that need equipment doing double duty. A cattle trailer serving Fargo-area farms has to handle heavy spring mud, brutal winter cold, and long highway hauls to sale barns further west. Star Manufacturing builds cattle trailers for exactly that kind of demand, and we ship them to Fargo and the Red River Valley from our plant in Wharton, TX.
Built for Red River Valley Farm-and-Cattle Operations
Our cattle trailers start with a 5/16" thick, 3x5 heavy angle frame, seam welded for continuous structural integrity rather than stitch welded at scattered points. Every component is laser cut and tabbed-and-slotted before welding begins, so fit-up is precise and consistent trailer after trailer — important on equipment that gets pressed into hauling grain, equipment, and livestock all in the same season.

Galvanized Protection for Valley Mud and Winter Salt
The Red River Valley's flat, heavy clay soil turns to deep mud every spring, and that moisture combined with brutal North Dakota winters and heavy road salt on I-29 and I-94 is a hard combination on painted steel. Salt works into every seam and joint, and freeze-thaw cycling accelerates rust once it takes hold. Our full hot dip galvanized process submerges the entire trailer — frame, floor structure, gates — in molten zinc, forming a metallurgically bonded coating that resists valley mud and winter road salt corrosion for decades rather than years. For a trailer that has to work double duty on a Red River Valley farm, galvanized construction pays for itself many times over.

We deliver regularly to farms and ranches across Cass, Richland, and Traill counties in North Dakota, as well as into the Minnesota side of the valley around Moorhead. Fargo's position on I-29 and I-94 makes it a natural hub for equipment and livestock moving across the region.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you deliver cattle trailers to Fargo, North Dakota?
Yes. We deliver galvanized and painted cattle trailers throughout Cass County and the Red River Valley from our Wharton, TX manufacturing facility.
Is a galvanized cattle trailer necessary for Red River Valley operations?
Heavy spring mud, brutal winters, and road salt on I-29 and I-94 corrode painted steel faster than most owners expect. A hot dip galvanized finish resists this corrosion far longer than paint.
What length trailer works best for mixed farm-and-cattle operations near Fargo?
Many diversified operations run 16'-24' trailers for flexible hauling needs, but our online builder can help size the right length for your specific setup.
