Steel Livestock Trailers

[Sparty-On]

I am looking for a little feedback on the different brands of steel Livestock trailers out there.  Does anyone like a certain brand over another for specific reasons?  Any additional options that are must haves?  Starting to look for a 14' bumper pull trailer and the aluminum options are just too salty for my budget.  Thanks.

I bought a 24’ Delta trailer in 2012 and I love it! It seems to be really well built, pulls nicer than the 24’ aluminum Wilson that my boss owns and the dealer I went through allowed me to customize it so I could have exactly what I wanted. My only complaints would be that a few of the rivets on the wheel wells are starting to come undone and I don’t love the closure that they use on the back door but both of those things are pretty minor.

When we were milking cows we had a 16ft TopCat. That thing hauled a WHOLE bunch of cattle in its life. It finally rusted out to the point of no return, but it was a good trailer.

I now have a 20ft EBY and would never go back to steel. I understand your stance on them, but I would also consider what you will receive when you resell an aluminum vs the steel. JMO.
