You should be able to bypass the current hydraulic setup on your cattle trailer to add newer brake lines but to be quite honest I'm not quite sure what you mean in regards to the steel bars.
I recommend going with a brake line kit that uses flexible hose for your brake connections as that will help give you a longer lasting system. We have these available in kits with a steel main line like part # T4830000 or with the flexible hose all throughout like part # 18TA-BLKIT for you to check out.
I have attached our selection of these brake line kits that you can filter through. If you have additional questions please don't hesitate to reach back out!
