Built for Georgia Cattle Operations
Weather-tough Apache feeders, panels, gates, and shades for cow-calf herds on warm-season grass.
Iowa doesn't just grow corn, it feeds it. Cattle feeding here is woven straight into the row-crop operation, with backgrounders and finishers turning homegrown corn and co-products into gain on farms all across the state. It's a diversified country: many producers run cattle alongside hogs and grain, feeding intensively through cold Midwest winters to make the most of every bushel.
Apache is built for that integrated Iowa operation. Manufactured by Global Equipment Company from heavy-gauge American steel and sold through dealers from Storm Lake to Ottumwa, our cattle handling and feeding equipment is made to move feed efficiently and keep cattle gaining, durable enough to earn its keep on a working Corn Belt farm for decades.
Bunk Feeding for the Corn Belt
Iowa cattle finish on homegrown corn, and that means feed moving through bunks every day, all winter long. Apache feed bunks, feeder and mixer wagons, and roller mills are built for that steady, grain-heavy feeding, holding up to daily use and the freeze-thaw grind of an Iowa winter.
- Heavy-gauge feed bunks handle daily grain-based feeding on Iowa backgrounding and finishing lots
- Feeder wagons and mixer wagons deliver consistent rations across the operation
- Roller mills process your own corn on-site for cost-controlled feeding
- American-made by Global Equipment Company, engineered for decades of Corn Belt duty
- Backed by Iowa dealers for fast parts and service through the feeding season
Feed Handling and Grain Processing
Making the most of Iowa corn means processing and mixing it right, turning bushels into balanced, efficient rations. Apache feeder wagons, mixer wagons, and roller mills give diversified Iowa operations the tools to handle feed from grain bin to bunk without waste.
- Roller mills crack and process corn on-farm for better feed efficiency
- Mixer wagons blend grain, silage, and co-products into consistent rations
- Feeder wagons move feed quickly across backgrounding and finishing lots
- Feed bins store and stage feed close to the cattle
- Heavy-gauge build stands up to daily, year-round Iowa use
Handling for Backgrounding and Finishing
Heading (5 words): Handling for Backgrounding and Finishing
Diversified Iowa farms work cattle in batches, receiving, sorting, processing, and shipping through the year. Apache chutes, tubs, and alleys keep those cattle moving safely and calmly, so one or two people can handle a load without extra hands or extra stress.
- Chutes, tubs, and alleys move Iowa cattle safely through processing and shipping
- The MS8 cattle chute and portable panels build a working setup on any lot
- Low-stress, curved flow keeps backgrounding cattle settled and gaining
- Heavy-gauge build handles repeated receiving-and-shipping cycles
- Custom fabrication available for specific Iowa lot layouts
