Feature location: Bulk feed at Farmer’s Cooperative
For folks who raise cattle, autumn signifies the beginning of the feeding season. Grass has dried up and died, so the animals need supplemental feed to make it through the fall and winter months.
That’s where we come in. Based out of Van Buren, our bulk feed department spent September – or as they call it, the beginning of booking – gearing up for the months to come.
What does the Coop offer?
Our bulk feed department offers the following commodities: rolled corn, corn gluten pellets, wheat midd pellets, soybean hull pellets, dried distiller grain, whole corn, oats, and blender pellets. Typically, people feed a blend to ensure their animals are getting the proper nutrition, including any vitamins or medication your animals may need.
Speaking of nutrition, if you are unsure what to feed your herd, we can help. The Coop has access to a nutritionist. Give us a call, and we’ll come out and set you up with a feed ration that fits your farm.
Have questions about what to feed, how to get feed or booking?
Give Travis, Brett, or Mary a call at 479.474.8051. They’d be happy to get you fixed up.
