Built for Florida Cattle Ranches
Heavy-duty Apache feeders, panels, gates, and shades for large ranches and Brahman-influenced cattle.
Florida runs a cattle industry unlike any other in the country. It is a top-ten beef-cow state built on large cow-calf ranches, concentrated around Okeechobee and the central peninsula, running Brahman and Brahman-influenced cattle bred for subtropical heat. The animals are bigger and heavier, the climate is hot and humid nearly year round, and the operations work at ranch scale. All of that pushes equipment hard and rewards heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant construction.
Apache is built for those demands. Manufactured by Global Equipment Company from heavy-gauge American steel and sold through dealers from Okeechobee to Ocala, our cattle handling and feeding equipment is made to handle large, well-muscled cattle, resist rust in a humid climate, and keep herds cool and fed across the Florida ranch.
Heavy-Duty Handling for Big Cattle
Brahman-influenced cattle are large, strong, and worked at ranch scale, so handling equipment has to be built tough. Apache chutes, tubs, and alleys are engineered to move big Florida cattle safely and calmly, standing up to the pressure these animals put on a working system.
- Chutes, tubs, and alleys move large Brahman-influenced cattle safely
- Heavy-gauge build stands up to the pressure of big, well-muscled animals
- The MS8 cattle chute works with portable panels for ranch-scale setups
- Low-stress, curved flow keeps heavy cattle settled through processing
- American-made by Global Equipment Company and backed by local dealers
Strong Panels and Gates
Big cattle test every panel and gate on the place. Apache free-standing panels and gates are built heavy enough to hold Brahman-influenced cattle, and portable enough to set up working pens across the wide pastures of a Florida ranch, then move where the cattle are.
- Free-standing panels build strong pens across large Florida ranch pastures
- Gates and walk-thru gates built to take heavy-cattle traffic
- Heavy-gauge steel holds the line against big, powerful animals
- Reconfigure for gathering and sorting across sprawling ranch country
- Corrosion-resistant build made for a humid, subtropical climate
Shade and Weather-Tough Feeding
Florida heat and humidity are relentless, and rust is always working against steel. Apache shades give ranch cattle relief through the long subtropical summer, while corrosion-resistant feeders and mineral feeders keep herds fed and healthy without wearing out in the moisture.
- Shades give Florida ranch cattle relief through relentless subtropical heat
- Corrosion-resistant feeders hold up where humidity wears out lesser gear
- Mineral feeders and oilers support grazing and fly and parasite control
- Heavy-gauge steel built for years of outdoor service in a wet climate
- Sized for the large herds Florida ranches run
