Cattle Trailers Memphis, Tennessee — West Tennessee and Mid-South Livestock Hauling
Memphis is the hub of West Tennessee and the broader Mid-South, sitting at the junction of Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi. West Tennessee counties — Fayette, Haywood, Hardeman, Chester, Henderson, Carroll, Gibson, and Dyer — run substantial cattle and mixed livestock operations on the flat, fertile Delta-influenced terrain. This is also stocker country, with producers working cattle between Mississippi Delta pastures and Tennessee grass. Star Manufacturing ships heavy-duty cattle trailers from Wharton, TX, about 10–11 hours from Memphis, and serves the entire West Tennessee and Mid-South region.
The Memphis-Area Cattle Region
West Tennessee's cattle belt is less well-known than its cotton and soybean fields, but it's real. Fayette County and Hardeman County are among Tennessee's more significant cattle counties. Across the river in northeast Arkansas, Mississippi County and Craighead County add more livestock operations to the Mid-South market. Memphis Livestock Center is one of the major auction outlets serving this region, handling commercial feeder cattle and cow-calf pairs from across West Tennessee and north Mississippi.
Drive time from Wharton, TX to Memphis: approximately 10–11 hours via I-40. We deliver throughout West Tennessee and the Mid-South — call (979) 532-1486 to discuss delivery.
Why Hot Dip Galvanized in the Mid-South
Memphis and West Tennessee average 50–56 inches of rainfall annually, with high humidity year-round. Delta-influence soils on the west side of the county are heavy clay that holds moisture. Paired with the Mississippi River's humidity influence, this is a high-corrosion environment for steel equipment. Star Manufacturing's hot dip galvanizing process — where the full trailer is submerged in molten zinc — creates a zinc-iron alloy coat that won't peel, chip, or flake like paint. It's the right choice for equipment that lives outdoors in this climate.
- 5/16" heavy angle frame — 3×5 main rail, full seam weld
- Full hot dip galvanized finish — entire trailer in the zinc bath, not spray coated
- Laser cut, tabbed and slotted components
- Sizes 14' to 40'

Serving the Mid-South Livestock Corridor
The triangle of Memphis, TN — Tupelo, MS — Little Rock, AR forms a meaningful livestock hauling corridor. Producers in this region often move cattle across state lines routinely — from West Tennessee to Mississippi Delta pastures in winter, from Arkansas bottomlands to Tennessee grass in summer. A reliable, well-built trailer makes that routine movement safe and economical.
Our trailers work in West Tennessee, northeast Arkansas, and north Mississippi. See also our pages for Nashville, Knoxville, Jonesboro, Arkansas, and Tupelo, Mississippi.
