About Arrowquip
Our Promise to Ranchers
Ranchers work hard, day in and day out no matter the weather or circumstance. They think about their livestock and family first, and themselves last. Combined with the responsibility of working to feed the world, it’s easy for their own needs to get pushed aside. With so many lives depending on ranchers, we decided enough is enough and have made ranchers' safety our top priority.
With Arrowquip, your safety is guaranteed, or your money back.
In the cattle management industry, a blind eye has been turned to ranchers’ safety for far too long. We understand working with cattle is dangerous, and it's easy for incidents to happen. If you get injured working cattle with your Arrowquip equipment, we will give you a full refund and you will get to keep your equipment. No questions asked. We’ve got your back.
Our story begins in 1988 on the Firth Family farm in Tamworth, Australia. As the son of a farmer, Phil Firth saw the opportunity to improve the way his family managed their livestock, and created his first cattle chute for personal use on the family farm. Within a year, local veterinarians saw the potential of his design and were drawn to the focus of a safer way to work with cattle. The Firth Family began building chutes to sell to local veterinarians, and the brand grew rapidly over the next few years to dominate the Australian cattle industry.
In 2003, the Firth Family partnered with the Langrells from rural Manitoba, and started building their first cattle chutes in North America. Like the Firths, the Langrell family brought generations of cattle ranching expertise to the table and together they began crafting the most innovative cattle chutes and handling equipment ever seen in the industry.
Until 2017, the Arrowquip factory consisted of four converted hog barns, a warehouse, and a small office space. Then in December 2017, the Arrowquip team moved into a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility and office space to meet the demands of the market and improve their manufacturing processes.
Four years later, the factory hosts two in-house tube lasers, and the Arrowquip team has grown from 30 to over 125 employees with no sign of stopping. With a focus on crafting new products that are designed to improve the way ranchers manage their livestock with safer and easier to use equipment, this is just the beginning. The best you will see from the Arrowquip team is still to come.
