Cattle Trailers in Yakima, Washington
The Yakima Valley is one of the Pacific Northwest's most productive agricultural regions, and cattle operations here run alongside the valley's orchards, hop yards, and vineyards on land that ranges from irrigated valley floor to dry shrub-steppe rangeland above it. Ranchers move cattle between summer grazing in the Cascade foothills and winter feeding operations down in the valley, often hauling long distances on I-82 and US-97 to reach markets and feedlots. That mix of mountain hauling, valley irrigation-district humidity, and Pacific Northwest winter rain calls for a trailer built to handle more than one climate. Star Manufacturing builds and delivers that kind of trailer to Yakima and the broader Pacific Northwest from our plant in Wharton, TX.
Why Pacific Northwest 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 mountain grades and long highway hauls.
- 5/16" heavy angle steel frame, seam welded for structural integrity
- Laser cut, tabbed and slotted components for a precision fit
- Full hot dip galvanized option — the entire trailer submerged in molten zinc
- Bar top livestock configuration built for airflow and cattle visibility
- Available in 6'8", 7', and 7'6" widths
- Lengths from 14' up to 40' for operations of any scale
Galvanized Protection for Rain, Irrigation, and Mountain Passes
Yakima Valley agriculture depends on irrigation, and ranchers here deal with near-constant ground moisture from canal systems and sprinkler runoff during the growing season, on top of typical Pacific Northwest fall and winter rain. Add in winter travel over Snoqualmie Pass, White Pass, or the Cascades where road salt and de-icing chemicals see heavy use, and a painted trailer's finish takes a beating from two directions at once. Our full hot dip galvanized process submerges the entire trailer — frame, gates, floor structure — in molten zinc, forming a coating that's metallurgically bonded to the steel rather than sitting on top like paint. For ranchers hauling through Washington's wet valleys and salted mountain passes, galvanized construction is the difference between a trailer that lasts and one that rusts out early.
Serving the Yakima Valley and Central Washington
We deliver to cattle operations across Yakima, Kittitas, and Klickitat counties, along with ranches further out in Central Washington's dryland cattle country. Yakima's position on I-82 makes it a natural hub connecting to markets in the Tri-Cities and Portland, Oregon.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you deliver cattle trailers to Yakima, Washington?
Yes. Star Manufacturing delivers hot dip galvanized and painted cattle trailers to Yakima and the Pacific Northwest from our plant in Wharton, TX. Long-haul delivery is routine for us.
Is galvanized worth it for a Yakima Valley ranch trailer?
Yes — near-constant irrigation moisture, Pacific Northwest rain, and winter mountain pass road salt all accelerate corrosion on painted steel. Galvanized trailers hold up significantly longer under those combined conditions.

We build cattle trailers from 14' to 40' in 6'8", 7', and 7'6" widths, suitable for small valley operations as well as larger dryland cattle outfits.
