Made for Missouri Cattle Country
Dependable Apache bale feeders, panels, and gates, built for cow-calf herds on fescue pasture.
Missouri quietly runs one of the largest cow herds in the country, more beef cows than almost any state east of the Plains,and it does it with tens of thousands of family operations rather than a handful of giants. From the rolling fescue pastures of the Ozark border to the hay ground of north Missouri, the story here is pairs of grass, hay through the winter, and equipment that one or two people can handle without a crew.
That's exactly where Apache fits. Built by Global Equipment Company from heavy-gauge American steel and sold through dealers from Springfield to Kirksville, our cattle handling and feeding equipment is made for the mid-sized Missouri outfit, durable enough to last decades on fescue, simple enough to move, feed, and work cattle on your own.
Hay Feeding for Missouri Winters
Fescue carries Missouri cattle a long way, but winter still means hay, and hay you don't protect is money on the ground. Apache bale feeders, hay rings, and stationary feeders are built to keep hay in front of the herd and out of the mud, cutting waste through the wet, freeze-thaw winters this part of the country is known for.
- Stationary hay feeders and rings hold hay in the ring, not trampled into Missouri mud
- Skirted designs cut waste on wet ground, stretching every round bale further
- Heavy-gauge steel stands up to daily herd pressure through freeze-thaw winters
- Right-sized for the mid-sized Missouri cow-calf herd, not just big outfits
- American-made by Global Equipment Company and backed by local dealers
Panels and Gates That Travel
Most Missouri operations don't have permanent working facilities, they work cattle where they need to, then move on. Apache free-standing panels and gates are made for exactly that: set up a pen in a corner of the pasture, sort your pairs, and break it back down, no post-holes and no crew required.
- Free-standing panels build a solid pen anywhere on the farm, then move to the next paddock
- Gates and walk-thru gates hang tough on fescue-pasture fence lines
- Reconfigure fast for rotational grazing across rolling Missouri ground
- Heavy-gauge build takes the daily lean of a full herd without bending
- One-person friendly, set up and tear down without extra hands
Low-Stress Handling Made Simple
Working cattle should be safe and quiet, for you and the herd. Apache chutes, tubs, and alleys are laid out to keep Missouri cattle flowing calmly through processing, sorting, and loading, whether you're a small cow-calf operation or running pairs across several rented pastures.
- Chutes, tubs, and alleys move cattle calmly for a small Missouri crew
- The MS8 cattle chute pairs with portable panels for a working setup that travels
- Low-stress, curved flow keeps pairs settled during sorting, doctoring, and loading
- Custom fabrication available when your Missouri layout needs something specific
