Pen sizes generally range from 40 to 300 head. As a result Mid-America accommodates varying lot sizes. Mid-America does not over crowd pens and will allow approximately 300 square foot per head per pen. All pens have fence line bunks, continuous flow maintenance free waterers, with the fences made up of cable and pipe or high tensil electric fence.
Each animal is inspected and processed as it arrives in our yard. Pens are sorted and evaluated based on weight, sex and background. Mid-America will feed mixed pens of steers and heifers together, with customer approval. We will not commingle cattle whereby two or more owners cattle are placed in the same pen. Each customer will have their own pen or pens.
