Discover the Equipment Trusted by Generations of Livestock Professionals
For over two generations, High Plains Equipment LLC has been engineering hydraulic cattle handling solutions that do what others only promise—reduce stress, increase efficiency, and last decades, not years. Born from multigenerational experience in feed lots, dairies, and specialized animal facilities worldwide, our expertise runs deeper than manufacturing. We pioneered innovations so effective that competitors have tried to copy them, yet our understanding of animal behavior and husbandry needs remains unmatched. If you're ready to invest in equipment designed by people who've actually lived your challenges, it's time to learn our story.
C&S Cattle Equipment was born from the hands and determination of one man — Bill Cummings.
In the 1970s, when hydraulic cattle handling was still a developing craft, Bill didn't follow the industry. He built it.
With a relentless work ethic and an eye for what ranchers truly needed, Bill set a standard that competitors would spend years trying to match. He believed that doing something right meant doing it better than anyone else had before — and that philosophy shaped every piece of equipment that left his shop.
Decades later, that standard hasn't changed. It's been handed down along with the business itself, carried forward by a second generation that grew up watching what real craftsmanship looks like. Bill's legacy isn't just in the equipment we build — it's in the way we build it.
We are proud to honor his vision and humbled to carry it forward.

The Basic Chute:
Expertly Designed for
Real-World Results
With decades of hands-on experience and precision engineering behind every innovation, High Plains Equipment doesn't just manufacture cattle handling systems—we perfect them. Our equipment is expertly crafted to enhance animal health and well-being while transforming your daily operations. When stress decreases and efficiency increases, everyone benefits: your livestock perform better, your team works safer, and your bottom line improves. This is what happens when multigenerational cattle handling knowledge meets thoughtful engineering—work becomes easier, results become measurable, and equipment becomes an investment that pays dividends for years to come.
Hydraulic Bottom Adjustment: Versatility That Adapts to Your Herd
One chute shouldn't force you to choose between calves and bulls—it should handle both flawlessly. Our hydraulic bottom adjustment system seamlessly adapts from the smallest calf to the largest bull with effortless precision, making it the ideal solution for feedlots and ranchers managing diverse livestock. The low-profile design ensures full door access from every angle, so you can vaccinate, treat, or examine animals without awkward positioning or compromised safety. Whether you're processing mixed groups or switching between operations throughout the day, this intelligent engineering means less time adjusting equipment and more time getting work done right.
Side Panel Louvers:
Smart Design That Calms Your Cattle
Cattle naturally balk at what they can see—especially movement from handlers. Our permanently mounted rubber louvers solve this age-old challenge with elegant simplicity. By preventing cattle from seeing the chute operator during processing, these thoughtfully engineered panels dramatically reduce bulking and resistance, creating a calmer, more cooperative animal. The result? Faster processing times, reduced stress for both livestock and handlers, and safer working conditions all around. It's a small design detail that makes a massive difference in your daily workflow—proof that decades of animal behavior expertise goes into every feature we build.
