In 1938 in Baker City, Oregon, Powder River established its roots that would become the leader in livestock handling equipment to this day. The first original squeeze chute then brought into production. Innovation and improvement moved Powder River forward.
About Us:
Powder River has been doing it right for a long time. As a brand, we celebrated 82 years in the livestock equipment industry in 2020. We have plans to be around for another century. We hear stories from all over the country from ranchers and cattle producers talking about how they are still using a gate that they helped hang as a kid. It is not uncommon to see Powder River chutes, working systems, or even gates that are 40+ years old and are still an integral part of the operation. Powder River equipment new and old can be found all around the country, and as we like to say, “America’s ranches are our show room.” We believe and work hard so that that idea will be true in another 80 years.
