Top Livestock Feed Solutions for a Productive Year

The Foundation of Health: Why Quality Feed Matters

You cannot expect premium results from subpar inputs. The feed you provide your livestock directly impacts their overall well-being, from immune response to reproductive success and growth rates. High-quality feed is formulated with a precise balance of protein, energy, vitamins, and minerals that animals require at different life stages.

Choosing a superior feed mix means you are investing in:

Optimal Growth and Development: Young animals need specific nutrients to build strong bones and muscle.
Enhanced Performance: Whether for dairy production, weight gain, or athletic competition, targeted nutrition fuels success.
Improved Health: A well-fed animal has a more robust immune system, making it less susceptible to illness.
Better Feed Efficiency: Quality feeds are more digestible, meaning your animals get more nutritional value from every pound, which can save you money over time.

At Berend Bros., we stand by the top livestock feed solutions we offer because we know they deliver tangible results for our customers.

Custom Feed Solutions for Every Animal

One size does not fit all in livestock nutrition. We are proud to offer a variety of feeds to meet the unique demands of your operation.

Nutrition for Beef Cattle

For cattle producers, the goal is often to maximize weight gain and maintain herd health. We provide feeds that support every stage of the production cycle.

Cow-Calf Operations: Pregnant and lactating cows have high energy and protein demands. Our feeds, including Purina’s range cubes and mineral supplements, ensure they receive the support needed to raise a healthy calf without losing body condition.
Stocker and Backgrounding: During this critical growth phase, cattle need a balanced diet to build frame and muscle efficiently. We offer rations designed to promote steady, healthy gains.
Finishing Cattle: For the final phase, our high-energy finishing feeds help you achieve the desired market weight and carcass quality.

We also offer bulk cattle cubes and custom feed mixes from our Windthorst feed mill, allowing you to create a ration perfectly tailored to your herd’s needs and available forages.

Fueling Your Equine Partners

Horse owners know that nutrition is the cornerstone of health, appearance, and performance. Whether you have a competitive athlete, a trail-riding companion, or a senior horse, their dietary needs are specific.

Performance Horses: Athletes require a high-calorie diet that supports muscle function and sustained energy. We carry premium horse feeds, like Purina’s Ultium line, formulated for the rigorous demands of competition.
Maintenance and Pleasure: For horses with a less demanding workload, a well-balanced feed that provides essential vitamins and minerals without excess calories is ideal for maintaining a healthy weight.
Senior Horses: Older horses often face dental issues and have a harder time absorbing nutrients. Senior feeds are specially designed to be easily chewable and highly digestible, ensuring they get the nutrition they need to stay comfortable and healthy.

Poultry Feeds for Productive Flocks

Whether you raise chickens for eggs, meat, or as a hobby, their diet is key to their productivity.

Laying Hens: To produce strong, high-quality eggs, hens need a diet rich in calcium and other essential nutrients. Our layer feeds, including Purina Layena, provide the complete nutrition your flock needs.
Broilers: For meat birds, rapid and healthy growth is the goal. We offer starter, grower, and finisher feeds that support muscle development.
Chicks: Baby chicks require a high-protein starter feed to give them a strong, healthy beginning.

The Advantage of Purina and Custom Mixes

This service is invaluable for producers who need a specific formula to complement their forages or meet unique herd requirements. Our team can work with you to analyze your needs and create a blend that optimizes your operation’s efficiency and profitability.

Tips for Choosing the Top Livestock Feed Solutions

Navigating the world of livestock feed can be overwhelming. Here are a few tips to help you make the best choice for your animals:

Identify the Life Stage and Purpose: A growing calf has different needs than a pregnant cow. A show pig requires a different diet than a maintenance gilt. Always match the feed to the animal’s current stage and function.
Analyze Your Forage: Your hay or pasture is the foundation of your feeding program. Understanding its nutritional content helps you choose a supplement or complete feed that fills any gaps.
Read the Feed Tag: The tag is your guide to the feed’s nutritional content. Pay attention to the guaranteed analysis for protein, fat, and fiber.
Consult an Expert: Don’t hesitate to ask for help. The team at Berend Bros. has the training and experience to guide you. We can help you interpret feed tags, discuss your goals, and recommend the best product for your situation.
