Custom cattle feeding in Iowa

 

About custom feeding in Iowa
Iowa is an excellent location to feed cattle profitably. The state has easy access to markets, has lower feeding costs than other regions in the country, and cutting-edge grid marketing programs. These grid marketing programs not only offer higher producer premiums, but they offer a wealth of carcass data that can be used to improve overall management.

For more information about the Custom Cattle Feeders of Iowa, visit the Iowa Cattlemen's Association Web site.
