Cattle Trailers in Sioux City, Iowa
Sioux City sits at the heart of "Siouxland," the tri-state cattle feeding region where Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota meet along the Missouri River. This is serious cattle-feeding country — the area is home to major beef packing operations and a dense concentration of commercial feedlots that finish cattle by the tens of thousands. If your operation is anywhere near Sioux City, you know what daily feedlot hauling does to equipment: constant loading and unloading, feedlot mud and manure, and long highway miles moving cattle between yards and the packing plant. Star Manufacturing builds cattle trailers specifically for that kind of heavy commercial use, and we deliver them to Sioux City and the Siouxland region from our plant in Wharton, TX.
Built for Siouxland Feedlot Volume
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, so fit-up is precise and consistent trailer after trailer. That level of build quality matters when a trailer is running near-daily loads of feeder or finished cattle between farms, feedlots, and the packing plant.

Why Galvanized Matters in a Feedlot and River-Valley Climate
Feedlot pens around Sioux City are saturated with manure acids and ammonia, and equipment gets washed down constantly — a combination that eats through paint far faster than most owners expect. Add in Missouri River valley humidity, hard winters, and heavy road salt on I-29 and I-90, and a painted trailer's finish can start failing within just a couple of seasons of heavy feedlot use. Our full hot dip galvanized process submerges the entire trailer — frame, floor structure, gates — in molten zinc, forming a metallurgically bonded coating that stands up to feedlot corrosion for decades rather than years. For any operation running cattle through the Siouxland feeding corridor, it's the trailer finish that actually pays for itself.

We deliver regularly to farms and feedlot operations across Woodbury, Plymouth, and Monona counties in Iowa, and coordinate hauling across the river into the Nebraska and South Dakota portions of the Siouxland feeding region. Sioux City's position at the junction of I-29 and I-90 makes it a natural hub for cattle and equipment moving across the tri-state area.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you deliver cattle trailers to Sioux City, Iowa?
Yes. We deliver galvanized and painted cattle trailers throughout Woodbury County and the Siouxland feeding region from our Wharton, TX manufacturing facility.
Is a galvanized cattle trailer necessary for feedlot use in Siouxland?
Feedlot environments expose trailers to manure acids, ammonia, and frequent wash-downs, plus River Valley humidity and road salt, all of which corrode steel faster than most owners expect. A hot dip galvanized finish resists this corrosion far longer than paint.
What length trailer do I need for feedlot-volume hauling near Sioux City?
We build trailers from 14' up to 40'; most commercial feedlot operations in the Siouxland area run 24'-32' trailers, but our online builder can help size the right length for your typical load.
