Powder River is the authority in livestock working equipment. Our chutes are built of quality steel in a V style, dual sided squeeze.
We focus on one thing, and that is making effective, durable, and simply the best equipment for producers. Powder River offers a full line of livestock handling equipment, including squeeze chutes, sweep tubs, feeders, gates, panels and loading ramps. We offer a lighter line of chutes, a heavy line, a basic hydraulic and an advanced hydraulic. The entire product line is built to last; when you buy a Powder River you have bought your last one.

Another great Husker Harvest Days is in the books.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by, walked the pens, operated the working systems, checked out our squeeze chutes, and spent time with the Powder River team. We loved putting our equipment to work and meeting the people who make this industry what it is.
But Husker Harvest Days is just one stop.
We take Powder River equipment on the road all across America—from gates and panels to squeeze chutes, working systems, and calving equipment—so you can see it, handle it, and experience what Powder River is built to do.
Know of an event in your neck of the woods? Let us know. We just might unload a truckload of Powder River equipment in your hometown.
And dealers—we want to work with you. If you're looking to bring a trusted livestock equipment brand to your customers and put Powder River in front of your local producers, let's talk.
Powder River. Built for the Western way of life.
When someone who knows small animal equipment puts Powder River to work year after year, we listen.
We caught up with one of the VPs for market animals at the Washington County Fair in Texas, where they’ve used Powder River small animal equipment.
His take? Versatile, easy to use, light enough to handle, strong enough to hold up—and a 100% recommendation.
We’re proud to build equipment that makes fair setup a little easier, season after season.

Powder River. The Authority in Livestock Handling Equipment.
09/11/2026
Today, we remember the lives lost, the heroes who stepped forward, and the families and communities forever changed on September 11, 2001.
We remember their courage.
We remember their sacrifice.
We remember.
Never Forget.
Some stories about durability are better told by the people who lived them.
In 2023, F3 tornadoes tore through the Cima family's property in southwest Tennessee, leaving significant damage behind. Their barn was a total loss, but the Powder River squeeze chute they purchased in 2008 was still standing—and even helped protect three baby lambs that were inside.
That chute had already proven itself on the ranch. After the storm, it proved itself all over again.
We’re grateful to the Cima family for sharing their story and trusting Powder River for the work that matters.
Every operation has its own way of doing things. Your equipment should work with it. 🐄
This working system in Heber City, Utah, is designed to keep cattle moving efficiently while giving ranchers the flexibility they need to get the job done.
Whether you're building from the ground up or making a few improvements, Powder River can help you design a system around your operation. Our team can visit your ranch and help identify changes that can make a real difference.
Getting cattle into the chute is only part of the job.
Powder River manual squeeze chutes feature a side exit that can be opened and closed from the opposite side of the chute, giving you more control when it's time to release an animal. It's a simple feature designed with both livestock and handlers in mind—especially when things don't go exactly as planned.
Because a good working system isn't just about getting the job done. It's about having the right features when you need them.
A lot goes into every piece of Powder River equipment. 🔨
Behind every gate, panel, and working system is a team of people welding, finishing, loading, and getting equipment ready for the ranch. From the production floor to the yard, every step matters.
Take a look behind the scenes at the people and process behind the equipment built to keep working, season after season.
Good equipment is best understood in the real world. 🐂
Last week, we welcomed the IFA team to Powder River for some hands-on time with our squeeze chutes and working systems—putting the equipment to work where it matters most: in the pasture.
Thanks to the IFA reps for coming out, getting your hands dirty, asking great questions, and learning what makes Powder River equipment built different.
Whether you’re working a few head or running a full-scale operation, the right equipment makes a difference.

A calm animal is easier to work with—and that's better for everyone.
Powder River's V-style dual-sided squeeze is designed to help keep cattle centered and balanced throughout the squeeze. When animals stay more comfortable, they're less likely to struggle, helping reduce stress while creating a safer, smoother working experience for both livestock and handlers.
