What started out as a family business in a one room, dirt floor shop in the backyard has become one of the largest farm, ranch and rodeo equipment manufacturers in the world, with a production facility that includes over 20 acres under roof. In 1964, Marvin Priefert invented the first gliding-action, fully opening headgate and the rest, and as they say, is history. 55 years later, led by Marvin’s son, Bill, and grandsons Eddie, Nate and Travis; Priefert Manufacturing has grown into the most respected name in farm, ranch and rodeo equipment. A true testament to the American Dream, the Priefert family is proud to produce quality products that are made in the USA.
