Calico Livestock Trailers for Sale

Calico Trailers has been building tough, functional livestock trailers in Oklahoma for decades — and their reputation among Texas ranchers and cattle producers is well-earned. Built with heavy-gauge steel tubing, fully vented walls, and solid floor construction, Calico livestock trailers are made to handle the rigors of weekly hauling to sale barns, the feedlot, and across pasture roads. Trailer Place in Wharton, TX is a proud Calico dealer serving ranchers throughout South-Central Texas.

Calico Bumper-Pull Stock Trailers

For producers who need a reliable, day-in day-out stock trailer without a gooseneck hitch, Calico’s bumper-pull cattle trailers are a top choice. These models connect via a 2-5/16″ ball hitch and are built to haul calves, stocker cattle, hogs, and sheep.

  • Sizes: 16 ft, 20 ft, and 24 ft bumper-pull models
  • GVWR: 7,000–14,000 lbs
  • Tubing: 1-3/4″ and 2″ square steel, galvanized finish available
  • Floor: 2-inch hardwood floor (oak) with steel cross members
  • Roof: Corrugated steel roof with full-length ridge ventilation
  • Slide gates: Center divider gate included on most models

The 16-ft bumper pull is the most popular size for small operations — it’s easy to maneuver, handles 4–6 stocker cattle comfortably, and can be pulled with a 3/4-ton pickup. Larger 20-ft and 24-ft models accommodate full loads for weekly market runs.

Calico Gooseneck Stock Trailers

When your cattle operation scales up, Calico gooseneck stock trailers deliver the capacity and stability you need. Riding over the truck’s rear axle reduces trailer sway and allows significantly higher load ratings than bumper-pull designs.

  • Sizes: 24 ft, 28 ft, and 32 ft gooseneck configurations
  • GVWR: 20,000–25,000 lbs on triple-axle units
  • Load capacity: 8–14 head of stocker cattle depending on size and weight of animals
  • Flooring: Treated hardwood or rugged aluminum floor options
  • Compartments: Two or three compartments with adjustable center gates
  • Top load door: Optional slam-latch top rail doors for easier loading

Compare Calico with our W-W Livestock Trailers — both are stalwart choices for Texas ranchers. See our Calico vs W-W Comparison for a head-to-head breakdown.

Calico vs W-W: Which Is Right for You?

Calico and W-W are two of the most respected livestock trailer brands in Texas. Calico tends to have heavier steel construction with a slightly more budget-friendly price point; W-W offers a very similar build with strong resale value in cattle country. Both are excellent choices — the right pick often comes down to personal preference and what’s in stock. Our team at Trailer Place carries both and can help you decide on the spot.

Also Available: STAR Galvanized Cattle Trailers

Looking for something that will outlast a conventional steel trailer? Our in-house STAR brand galvanized cattle trailers are manufactured right here in Wharton at our sister facility, Star Manufacturing. Hot-dip galvanized construction means virtually zero rust maintenance — even in humid coastal Texas conditions. Ask about STAR trailers when you call.
