About Pen Systems for Livestock Trailers

Pen systems for livestock trailers are an ideal way to transport your animals safely from one destination to another. If you travel frequently with your livestock, a pen system with living quarters may be a perfect choice. It provides you with the comfort and convenience of a home on the road. For travelers who make shorter trips, a pen system without living quarters gives you ample storage space for your animals and gear. 

Both types of trailers come in bumper pull and gooseneck towing styles. Gooseneck trailers have more towing stability and a high weight capacity, so they are ideal for travelers who make lengthy trips. If you are concerned about the cost, bumper pull trailers are typically less expensive and require little in the way of special equipment. With models that include side and rear ramps to conveniently access your animals plus roof vents and insulation to keep them safe during the drive, you can rest at ease knowing that your livestock is comfortable and secure on the road. 

At Transwest, we partner with the best brands in horse and livestock manufacturing to bring you high-quality trailers. Our partners include Cimarron, Featherlite, Logan Coach, Sundowner, and more. There is sure to be a trailer that fits your needs. 

What is a pen system trailer for livestock?

Pen system trailers are used to transport livestock such as cows, sheep, pigs, goats, and other animals from one location to another. Most models include side and rear ramps for easy loading and unloading of your livestock, while roof vents and insulation keep them safe and comfortable during the drive. 

Some owners use pen system trailers to haul horses. Most horses, however, are too big for stock trailers. Their owners would be better off using a horse trailer. The pen trailers can range in size, shape, and style to accommodate all types of animals; some models feature multiple levels of pens. In general, the trailers come in two different pull types: gooseneck and bumper pull. Using a pen system trailer is a great way to keep your livestock safe in transit. 

How tall are livestock trailers?

The average livestock trailer is 6 ft. 6 in. tall, and the average cattle trailer is slightly taller at 6 ft. 8 in. Although trailers of this size are frequently used to transport small livestock such as cattle, pigs, and chickens, some owners use it to transport short horses. However, keep in mind that horse trailers are typically much larger than livestock trailers, with an average height that ranges between 7 ft. tall and 7 ft. 6 in. 

Livestock trailers are generally less costly than horse trailers, and they often come with open spaces by the door and on the sides of the trailer in place of windows. Many stock trailers also include a front tack room, giving you plenty of space to store gear and equipment.

How do I choose a livestock trailer?

Start by making a list of what you plan to use the trailer for. What type of livestock do you have? The ideal trailer for you will depend on whether you have cattle, sheep, pigs, show horses, or hogs. Do you typically haul large amounts of feed and equipment? If you make frequent cross-country journeys with your livestock, you may be better off choosing a gooseneck trailer, as it is easy to maneuver and provides greater stability for the road. 

For lighter loads or short trips across town, a bumper pull trailer may be best for you. A living quarters trailer is ideal for those who make long, frequent trips to shows and events and need a place to stay on the road. A non-living quarters trailer may be a better fit for those who need a lot of storage.

Are pen system livestock trailers air-conditioned?

Most stock trailers have slat sides, meaning the sides of the trailer are open to allow airflow. Many models also come with an insulated roof and roof vents to allow even more air to flow through the trailer. Some custom models of stock trailers may have Plexiglass windows in place of slats. However, most livestock trailers are not air-conditioned. 

Some enclosed horse trailers come with air conditioning units. If you want to install an air conditioning unit in your trailer, call your local horse trailer or RV shop to ask about the cost of installation. Air conditioning can be a good investment in horse trailers or enclosed livestock trailers, particularly if you tend to haul your animals on long journeys through hot climates.

How much do livestock trailers cost?

Livestock trailers (also called stock trailers) may cost anywhere from $14,000 to $70,000, depending on the make, model, and style. Most models are available in either bumper pull or gooseneck styles. On average, bumper pull trailers are less expensive. They attach to the ball hitch on the back of the towing truck or vehicle, and they are easy to hook up – even for beginners – because they don’t require much additional towing equipment. 

Gooseneck trailers, on the other hand, have a more extensive towing system. They tend to be more costly, but they offer more stability on the road and can be used to haul larger weights thanks to their heavy-duty strength.  

A livestock trailer made from aluminum is typically more expensive than a steel trailer.
