Cattle Trailers in Wichita Falls, Texas

Wichita Falls sits at the gateway between North Texas and Oklahoma, anchoring a stretch of rolling prairie and mesquite country across Wichita, Archer, Clay, and Wilbarger counties that has run cattle for generations. Operations here work cow-calf pairs and stocker cattle across big pastures, hauling to sale barns in Wichita Falls, Vernon, and up into southern Oklahoma. The wide-open terrain and long hauls between pastures and markets mean a cattle trailer needs to be built for real miles, not just weekend trips. Star Manufacturing builds that kind of trailer, and we ship them to Wichita Falls and the surrounding Rolling Plains from our plant in Wharton, TX — a straight shot up Highway 281 and I-35/I-44.

Why North Texas Ranchers Choose Star Manufacturing

Every trailer starts with a 5/16" thick, 3x5 heavy angle frame that's seam welded for a continuous structural bond, not just tacked at intervals. Laser cut, tabbed-and-slotted components fit precisely before welding, holding tight tolerances through years of caliche roads and North Texas heat.

Built for Rolling Plains Ranch Work

Wichita Falls-area ranchers put serious miles on their equipment moving cattle between leased pastures, working through wheat-grazer stocker operations, and hauling to auction. The North Texas climate swings hard between summer heat over 100°F and winter blue northers with ice, which stresses paint finishes and puts a premium on a frame that won't twist or sag under repeated loading. Our 5/16" heavy angle frame construction is built to take that kind of use year after year without the flex and fatigue that lighter-gauge trailers develop.

Galvanized Protection for Wind, Grit, and Winter Ice

Wichita Falls sees hard winter weather — ice storms and road treatment on Highway 287 and I-44 — along with constant West Texas wind and grit the rest of the year. That combination wears through paint faster than most owners expect, especially on the underside of the trailer and around gate hinges. Our full hot dip galvanized process submerges the entire trailer in molten zinc, forming a coating that's metallurgically bonded to the steel rather than sitting on top. For ranchers who put real mileage on a trailer across all four Texas seasons, galvanized construction protects the investment for the long haul.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you deliver cattle trailers to Wichita Falls, Texas?

Yes. Star Manufacturing regularly delivers hot dip galvanized and painted cattle trailers to Wichita Falls and the Rolling Plains region from our plant in Wharton, TX.

Is galvanized worth it for a Wichita Falls ranch trailer?

Yes — North Texas ice storms, road treatment, and year-round wind and grit corrode painted steel faster than expected. Galvanized trailers hold up significantly longer under those conditions.

What sizes are available for North Texas cattle operations?

We build cattle trailers from 14' to 40' in 6'8", 7', and 7'6" widths, suitable for small cow-calf operations as well as larger commercial stocker outfits.
