Operations


 

   
The computerization and accuracy of our mills is for your benefit and meets all standars set forth by the FDA. We utilize a computerized bunk reading system, which allows our bunk reader to have access to 30 days consumption, calls, and changes while they are calling each bunk early in the morning. Our computerized animal health system enables us to track each animal that has been treated, giving the cowboys and the consulting veterinary a quick and accurate account of each animal and the pen that it belongs to. This is useful in withdrawl times and cost efficiency decisions.

Our crew designed and built both our "load out" facilities and the "perfect" bunk sweeper. Ingenuity and creativity are very useful traits to have around a feed yard.

When you stop in at the office, you can catch up on the markets with the DTN screen. We'll always have a cup of coffee and some goodies for you in case you want to sit down and visit with the crew.

Each pen is cleaned and the manure removed at least once a year. The receiving pens are prepared with fresh running water and prairie hay for all of your incoming cattle. Our sick pens have shaded covers and straw that provide bedding for cattle that are recovering.

Our cattle scales are 14 feet wide and 70 feet long, providing good weigh up conditions.
