Cattle Trailers for Sale in Pittsfield, Massachusetts
Pittsfield is the county seat of Berkshire County in far western Massachusetts, set between the Berkshire Hills and the Taconic Range. Beyond the city, the Berkshires are dotted with dairy and beef farms, grass-fed operations, and farm-to-table producers that sell into the region's resort towns and into New York and Boston markets. Many Berkshire farms are family operations that have been working the same hillside pastures for generations.
Farmers here are closer to eastern New York than to Boston, and it's common to haul west into New York's Hudson Valley and Capital Region for livestock sales, feed, and processing.
Mountain Terrain Plus a Long Berkshire Winter
The Berkshires get some of the heaviest snowfall in Massachusetts, and the Mass Pike (I-90), US-7, and Route 9 are salted hard through a winter that can run five months. Add steep grades on routes like Route 2 over the Hoosac Range, and a trailer takes both mechanical stress and chemical attack. Painted frames chip on gravel roads and rust from the chips outward. Our trailers are fully hot dip galvanized, which bonds zinc into the steel surface itself, and built on a 5/16" seam-welded heavy angle frame that won't rack on mountain roads.
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
Will a galvanized trailer handle gravel farm roads?
Yes. Galvanizing is far tougher than paint against rock chips, and even where the surface gets scratched, the surrounding zinc keeps protecting the exposed steel.
Can I haul hay or equipment in a cattle trailer?
Many Berkshire farmers do double duty with a stock trailer. For regular equipment hauling, our utility construction trailers are a better fit.
