HELP-NEED CATTLE FEED SUPPLIER

[Lisa Hudson]

My boss has told me to get him some prices on cheap cattle feed, and I know nothing about it. Searching the internet is driving me crazy. I need to purchase it by the ton in a hopper grain truck. Any contact information will be appreciated. We are in Arkansas, so I need it as close as possible.
Thanks for any help!

I would start by contacting any feed mills in the general area then go from there.

Hopefully you can find a supplier not to far away.

BTW corn gluten, soy hulls, & distillers grains make great supplements.

Good luck & best wishes

Lisa, I can't place where Crossett is right off hand, so I don't know how close it will be for you, but you might try Baltz feed in Pocahontas. We have just started using one of their feeds called tri-mix. It is corn, corn gluton, and rice meal. It is 14% protein. It is $115/ton which is the best price that I have found around here for a feed of this quality. Not to mention, the folks there are really nice. If this will work for you, give them a call (sorry I don't have the number with me but it is listed as Baltz Feed/Ace Hardware). Ask for Joe Baltz. Hope this helps.
