Feeder Cattle For Sale
Getting StartedYou can bring in your own feeder cattle to Mid-America or we also work with independent buyers who can procure cattle to fit your needs. You can arrange for the transportation of your cattle or we can help and possibly at a reduced back haul rate. We receive cattle 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.
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.
Feeding Local GrainsMid-America's cornbelt location contributes very competitive corn prices to our ration, and the abundance of local grain supplies cuts our shipping costs. Therefore, you will find our feed prices extremely attractive. Utilizing local grain also has a positive impact on the freshness of our ration mix.
Feeding local grains is good business. The cost advantages it offers our feeders is positive along with the impact it has on the local economy.
Grain Contracts And Corn Banking Contracted corn prices are available to guarantee a stable price throughout the feeding period. We are happy to participate in corn banking, whereby corn growers can feed their own grain, taking advantage of a higher yielding option and reducing their cash outlay. Rations The bunks are inspected daily with cattle being fed twice a day. Mid-America feeds a well-mixed, quality steam flaked corn ration. This maximizes gains by improving palatability, digestibility and conversion of feedstuffs. Modern equipment, including digital scale feed trucks, deliver consistent loads to the bunks, making bunk management efficient and cost accounting accurate. The professional services of an independent animal nutritionist are employed to determine ration formulation and efficient feed management for each pen. Animal Care Animal care is top priority at Mid-America Feed Yard. Our cowboys take great pride in maintaining the cattle in top condition. Our hands are well trained and experienced in animal care. At the first sign of stress, off-condition animals are removed to a hospital area or treatment pen. To attain objective input, an independent veterinarian is on call and visits the yard frequently to consult with our yard doctor. Yard Maintenance The entire yard is thoroughly maintained to reduce stress on the cattle and provide cost efficient care. Built around a former army air field, the airstrip provides extra wide and unusually deep 30', 40' and 50' concrete feed aprons. Large well groomed mounds along with tile drains promote good drainage and excellent pen conditions not only in the summer but winter as well. Security We maintain diligent security. The perimeter of the yard is surrounded by fence and gate to restrict access. Mid-America is committed to maintaining the value of your investment. Environment Mid-America has taken a pro-active approach to the environment. A waste management program is implemented year round to manage run off and manure management. Our yard has met all guide lines set forth by the EPA and DEQ. This yard is certified and approved with an open door policy to the regulatory commissions.
