ALABAMA

Built for Alabama Cattle Farms

Corrosion-tough Apache feeders, panels, and gates for cow-calf herds on Black Belt and mixed pasture.

Alabama cattle country runs on forage and family operations, with cow-calf herds spread from the Tennessee Valley in the north down through the rich pastureland of the Black Belt. The state's deep soils and long growing season make it a strong forage country, so most producers here run pairs on bermuda and fescue and feed hay through the cooler months. Warmth and humidity are constants, which means equipment has to shrug off rust and hold up to hard, year-round use.

Apache is built for those conditions. Manufactured by Global Equipment Company from heavy-gauge American steel and sold through dealers from Cullman to Montgomery, our cattle handling and feeding equipment is made to feed, work, and cool Alabama herds while standing up to the humidity that wears lesser gear out.

Feeding Herds on Strong Forage

Alabama's growing season builds good grass, but cooler months still call for hay and steady minerals to keep herds in condition. Apache bale feeders, mineral feeders, and oilers keep cattle fed and healthy across the forage year, built to resist the rust and corrosion that come with a humid climate.

  • Stationary hay feeders cut hay waste during cool-season feeding on Alabama pasture
  • Mineral feeders and oilers support forage grazing and fly control
  • Corrosion-resistant build holds up to humid Black Belt and valley conditions
  • Right-sized for small and mid-sized Alabama cow-calf herds
  • American-made by Global Equipment Company and backed by local dealers

Panels and Gates That Move

Most Alabama farms work cattle where the pasture allows rather than at one fixed set of pens. Apache free-standing panels and gates build a solid working pen anywhere on the site, then break down and move with the herd as you rotate across forage.

  • Free-standing panels build a working pen anywhere on the farm, then move on
  • Gates and walk-thru gates hang solid on pasture fence lines
  • Reconfigure quickly for rotational grazing across Alabama forage
  • Heavy-gauge build holds the line against a full herd
  • Corrosion-resistant steel made for a humid southern climate

Handling and Summer Shade

Two things matter most through an Alabama season: working cattle safely, and getting them through the heat. Apache chutes, tubs, and alleys keep the herd flowing calm at processing time, while shades give cattle relief through long, humid summers that can pull down gain and breeding performance.

  • Chutes, tubs, and alleys move cattle calmly for a small Alabama crew
  • The MS8 cattle chute pairs with portable panels for a setup that travels
  • Shades give herds relief through hot, humid Alabama summers
  • Low-stress, curved flow keeps pairs settled during sorting and loading
  • Heavy-gauge, corrosion-resistant build made for years of southern use
