Cattle Trailers for Sale in Georgetown, Delaware
Georgetown is the seat of Sussex County, Delaware's southernmost and largest county and one of the top poultry-producing counties in the country. Beyond the chicken houses, Sussex County has beef herds, small dairies, and hobby farms, plus a strong livestock-showing community around the Sussex County Fair and the Delaware Cattlemen's circuit.
Farm owners in southern Delaware frequently haul into Maryland, across Delmarva, and to feed and equipment suppliers up and down US-113.
Beach-Country Air and Brine on the Roads
Georgetown is just inland from Rehoboth and the Atlantic beaches, so salt fog drifts across the farmland and humidity stays high from spring through fall. In winter, US-113, Route 9, and Route 404 are salted regularly. That double exposure makes painted trailers a maintenance chore. A fully galvanized trailer needs no repainting, and a 5/16" seam-welded heavy angle frame keeps its shape on the flat but potholed county roads typical of Sussex County.
How Star Manufacturing Trailers Are Built
- 5/16" thick, 3x5 heavy angle frame — seam welded, not stitch welded, for a rigid frame that resists flexing and cracking
- Full hot dip galvanized finish — the entire trailer is submerged in molten zinc after fabrication, so every surface is protected
- Laser cut components — tabbed and slotted for a precision fit and consistent, tight welds
- Sizes from 14' to 40' — bumper-pull and gooseneck configurations for small farms up to commercial loads

Frequently Asked Questions
Is galvanized worth the cost for a hobby farm?
If the trailer sits outside near the coast, yes. You avoid repainting and rust repair, and it holds resale value far longer.
Do you offer utility trailers too?
Yes, our galvanized utility construction trailers are popular with Delmarva contractors and landscapers.
What makes a Star Manufacturing trailer different from a typical dealer-lot stock trailer?
Most stock trailers are painted, stitch-welded, and built from lighter tube. Ours use a 5/16" thick 3x5 heavy angle frame that is seam welded, laser-cut tabbed-and-slotted parts for a precise fit, and a full hot dip galvanized finish. You can spec length from 14' to 40' and see instant pricing in the quote builder before you ever call.
