Livestock Trailers for Rent

View All Livestock Trailers

Need a stock trailer for a sale barn run, a pasture move, or the county fair? Hauling cattle, hogs, sheep, or goats takes a trailer built for live animals — open-slat ventilation, footing they can actually stand on, and cut gates that let you sort a load without climbing in with them. towlos connects you with livestock trailer rental near you from ranchers, farmers, and trailer owners in your own county, so you can rent the right stock trailer for one weekend instead of financing one you'll use six times a year.

Why Choose towlos Livestock Trailer Rental?

Most trailer rental companies stock general-purpose utility and cargo trailers and treat livestock hauling as an afterthought. towlos hosts are livestock people — cow-calf operators, show families, and small ranchers who bought their stock trailer for their own herd and know what it takes to load, haul, and unload animals without stressing them. When you rent through towlos, you're renting from someone who can also tell you how many head that trailer really holds.

Common Reasons Ranchers and Farmers Rent a Livestock Trailer:

• Sale barn and auction runs – Haul cattle to the local sale barn on sale day without tying up capital in a trailer that sits fifty weeks a year
• Pasture and rotational grazing moves – Move cattle, sheep, or goats between leased pastures, summer range, and winter ground
• Herd expansion and new stock – Bring home bulls, bred heifers, replacement females, or a starter flock after a purchase
• Processing and freezer beef – Deliver finished animals to a USDA or state processor on your scheduled date
• Veterinary and emergency transport – Get an injured or sick animal to the clinic fast, or evacuate stock ahead of wildfire or flooding
• 4-H and FFA shows – Haul show steers, hogs, lambs, and goats to county fairs, jackpot shows, and state expositions
• Breeding appointments – Move animals to and from breeding facilities, AI programs, and embryo transfer work
• Seasonal and overflow capacity – Add a second trailer during weaning, shipping, or fair season when one rig isn't enough

Stock Trailer Features Built for Live Animals:

• Open-slat or vented sides – Continuous airflow keeps animals cool in summer heat while slatted panels break the wind in cold weather
• Full-width rear gate with slider – A half-slider or slam-latch rear gate lets you load a whole group or one head at a time
• Adjustable cut gates – Interior gates let you sort, separate a bull, or partition a load without unloading everything
• Non-slip flooring – Rubber mats over treated wood or cleated aluminum give footing on wet, soiled floors
• Smooth interior with no snag points – Rounded inner walls and recessed hardware prevent cuts, bruising, and hide damage
• Escape door in the nose – A forward escape door gives you a way out when you're inside working animals
• Load-rated axles and brakes – Tandem axles and electric brakes sized for shifting live weight, not static cargo
• Center and rear dividers – Keep animals from bunching to one end and shifting your tongue weight on the road

Find Livestock Trailer Rental Near You

Livestock trailers need to be close to home — nobody wants to drive two hours to pick up a trailer before driving two hours to the sale barn. towlos has trailer rental near me listings in ranch country and farm communities across the country, including small towns and rural counties where the nearest equipment yard doesn't carry stock trailers at all. Whether you need a 16-foot bumper pull for a few head or a 32-foot gooseneck for a full load, availability is set by owners who live where you haul.

Technical Specifications

Standard Livestock Trailer Specs:

• Head Capacity: roughly 6–8 head of mature cattle in a 16-footer, 12–14 in a 24' gooseneck, 18–20 in a 32'
• Interior Height: 6'6" to 7'6", with "tall boy" models for larger-framed cattle
• Weight Capacity: 7,000 lb GVWR tandem-axle bumper pull up to 21,000–24,000 lb gooseneck
• Ventilation: Open-slat sides, roof vents, and adjustable side panels for year-round airflow

Know Your Tow Rating: Mature cattle average 1,200–1,400 lbs per head, so a loaded 24' gooseneck can push past 20,000 lbs. Confirm your tow vehicle's rating and hitch class before you book, and message the host through towlos Chat if you're not sure — most of them haul that exact load every week.

Why towlos Beats Standard Trailer Rental Options

Actual Stock Trailers, Not Substitutes

• Purpose-built livestock trailers with cut gates and open-slat ventilation — not an enclosed cargo trailer with the doors propped open
• Hosts who haul livestock themselves and can tell you exactly what a trailer handles
• Sizes from a 12-foot bumper pull for a few goats to a 32-foot gooseneck for a full load of cattle

Where the Rental Yards Aren't

• Listings in rural counties and ranch country, where national rental chains have no location at all
• Availability on weekends, sale days, and fair week — when equipment yards are closed
• A nationwide network built from privately owned trailers instead of a fixed depot footprint

Priced for How You Actually Use It

• Livestock trailers on towlos rent from about $80 to $375 per day, with rates set by the owner
• Hosts set their own multi-day discounts, so shipping week or a fair circuit costs less per day
• Flat $10 guest service fee with Flat Fee Freedom — the same $10 whether you rent for one day or two weeks

Show Season and the 4-H / FFA Circuit

For families running show steers, hogs, lambs, and goats, fair season means hauling every other weekend from spring jackpots through the state show. Buying a stock trailer for a two-year project rarely pencils out, and borrowing from a neighbor gets complicated when everyone is showing the same weekend. Renting a livestock trailer near you gets your kid's project animals to the ring in a trailer that's the right size and properly ventilated, without a payment book.

The National FFA Organization and 4-H run the livestock and animal science projects behind most of those shows, and the Beef Quality Assurance transportation manuals cover loading density, handling, and fitness-for-transport standards worth reading before any haul. For federal animal transport standards, the USDA Animal Welfare Act sets the baseline.

Complete Ranch and Farm Solutions

Beyond livestock trailers, towlos offers gooseneck trailer rental for heavier loads, utility trailer rental for hay, feed, and corral panels, flatbed trailer rental for tractors and implements, dump trailer rental for manure, gravel, and pen cleanup, and enclosed trailer rental for tack and show equipment.

Hauling horses instead? See our horse trailer rental page for trailers built specifically for equine transport, with padded dividers, individual stalls, and escape doors.

Safe Livestock Hauling

Good stock hauling is mostly preparation. Load during the cool part of the day, avoid both overcrowding and a too-light load that lets animals shift, check that every gate latches and the floor is sound, and plan a route that keeps you moving so animals aren't standing still in the heat. Pull over and check the load in the first few miles, then every couple of hours after that. For more hauling guidance, seasonal checklists, and livestock transport tips, see the towlos blog.
