Quality-focused Feedyards

​We know your paycheck only comes a few times a year—and that’s why finding a good feedyard partner matters so much.

This listing features yards who have historically expressed an interest in feeding high-quality Angus cattle and partnering with commercial cattlemen to capture premiums.

As in any business, taking on additional risk is just that: risky. But owning cattle beyond weaning also offers the opportunities for greater rewards. This list is provided for informational purposes, not as a guarantee of profit or endorsement of any of the feedyards.

Where to start

This list is only a starting place to help you find the right fit. Like hiring a new employee, it may take some time to find the right partner. Just remember in your search, nothing replaces the human element; the cattle business is all about relationships. 

Conduct several phone conversations to narrow the list, then consider making personal visits to find the feeder that best matches your goals. Get to know the management team and their philosophies, too.

Success in feeding your cattle will depend on your comfort, trust and communication with each other.
