Cattle Trailers in Lubbock & West Texas
The Texas South Plains and Caprock country around Lubbock is serious cattle country — feedlots, stocker operations, and cow-calf herds run across Lubbock, Lynn, Crosby, Garza, Hockley, Terry, and Yoakum counties. If you're running cattle in this country, you need a trailer with the structural integrity to handle heavy loads, caliche roads, and the temperature extremes of the High Plains.
Star Manufacturing in Wharton, TX builds heavy-duty cattle trailers with a 5/16" thick, 3×5 heavy angle steel frame, seam welded and finished with full hot-dip galvanizing. Available in 14' to 40' sizes, with laser-cut precision components — this is the trailer built for working ranchers, not showroom floors.
Heavy-Duty Construction for High Plains Work
West Texas cattle operations are high-production and hard on equipment. Trailers that handle feedlot-to-pasture moves, stocker runs to Kansas or Nebraska, and back-and-forth sale barn trips accumulate serious miles and loads. Star Manufacturing's build process is engineered for that:
- 5/16" frame steel — the heavy angle is thicker than standard cattle trailer frames
- Seam welding — full penetration welds, not skip or tack welds that crack under load
- Full hot-dip galvanizing — corrosion protection even in alkaline caliche soil environments and freeze-thaw cycles
- Laser-cut components — consistent, repeatable tolerances across every trailer we build
Lubbock to Wharton: Distance & Pickup Options
Wharton is approximately 370 miles southeast of Lubbock — about a 5.5-hour drive on US-84 South or US-87/US-277. We understand that's a significant trip, and we work with buyers from the Lubbock area to make the process worthwhile — whether that means confirming the trailer is ready before you leave, or discussing delivery arrangements.

Many West Texas buyers tell us the drive is worth it for the quality difference. Others have trailers delivered when ordering multiple units for commercial operations.

Feedlot and Commercial Operation Trailers
The Lubbock area supports some of the highest cattle feeding density in the nation. Commercial operators running between feedlots, backgrounding yards, and cow-calf country put enormous miles on trailers annually. Star Manufacturing's 36' and 40' trailers are sized for those operations, and the galvanized finish means corrosion isn't eating structural steel while the trailer sits full of cattle manure and moisture overnight.
