Linn Post And Pipe

What Linn Post And Pipe does

Linn Post And Pipe is a privately held, family-owned manufacturer of cattle-handling equipment and continuous fencing founded in 1974 by Emil Peters and headquartered in Linn, Kansas, with a Northern Division in Creighton, Nebraska. The company's flagship technology is its patented continuous fencing system (Patent No. 406 754 7, granted in 1974), which uses a continuous connection design across 20-foot sections with 3/4-inch rod vertical supports — a design that has remained the foundational product line for over 50 years. Around this core fencing line, Linn Post has assembled a full livestock-handling catalog including the Wrangler Portable Corral series (Standard, Large, Super Large, and the newer Pro Series), the Bulldog Portable Corral for smaller operations, Pearson-branded hydraulic and manual chutes with headgates and scale systems, adjustable alleyways, crowding tubs, heavy-duty gates with a five-year breakage guarantee, portable panels, and repurposed oilfield pipe sold in multiple diameters.

The company operates 11-50 employees across its two locations and reaches end customers primarily through a US-wide dealer network, supplemented by direct phone sales and an e-commerce storefront at shop.linnpost.com. GTM motion leans heavily on agricultural trade shows and exhibitions across the Midwest (MT, NE, SD, ND, OK, KS), with on-site product demonstrations serving as the primary demand-generation channel. Revenue is generated almost entirely through one-time hardware sales with quote-driven, dealer-channel pricing; no subscription, recurring, or software revenue model is present. The customer base is entirely horizontal — individual cattle ranchers and ranches purchasing equipment for gathering, sorting, branding, calving, weaning, and preconditioning — with no enterprise or institutional buyers documented. The company carries no external investors, no parent entity, and no disclosed funding rounds, consistent with a generational, founder-controlled operating profile.
