NUTRITION

Earlybird entered the livestock nutrition industry selling complete feeds in 1979.  In 1985, manufactured feed processing began at the old El Paso mill.  Manufacturing in our current Goodfield facility started in 1995.  In 2018, the Roseville facility was completed and also began manufacturing feed. This second location has significantly expanded the territory handled by bagged and bulk delivery services. 

Significant growth of the dealer web provided opportunities to acquire both the Chapin and Marionville, Missouri businesses in 2020 and the Triumph location in 2021.  Operations in Chapin have been greatly expanded with the completion of our most efficient manufacturing facility in September 2021. Pelleting capabilities were added to the network of facilities in early 2022
 
Earlybird strives to provide the best nutritional diets for your operation. We offer a large line of proven complete feeds for many species of animals or the flexibility to customize a feeding program to fit your individual needs. This is accomplished through a unique combination of Earlybird branded products and a diverse offering of nationally marketed labels.

The Earlybird vision has always been unique and we keep transitioning with the trends, but our mission remains the same and the question we continue to take head on is — How can we help everyone? We know there is a price to pay when it comes to feeding and taking care of livestock especially when the bar is set so high — “Greatness is earned, not given.”

This NEW Rewards Program is unique in the fact that you don’t have to submit a photo of your champion standing at the backdrop — you can if you want and that is the ultimate goal, but we understand that’s not always the case.

This is how the #GreatnessStartsEarly Rewards Program works — if you purchased any of the Purina High Octane®, Honor® Show, or Earlybird branded products listed on the flyer below as of September 1st, 2024 — YOU are eligible for #GreatnessStartsEarly Rewards Program Points! 👇

🔴 EARN POINTS WITH EVERY FEED PURCHASE!

After the purchase window closes on March 1st — a form will need to be filled out to redeem your points! Reach out to one of our team members for the form or it will be accessible on our website. Once your form is collected — we’ll send you POINTS (Store Credit) to use on the Rewards Store!

We’d like to thank the Purina Team for helping this vision come to fruition — we appreciate their support!

We’ll be sharing more details about this new and exciting program at our Greatness Starts Early Cattle, Sheep, and Goat Clinic on February 1st! 👉 Sign-Up for that if you haven’t already ☺️

If you have questions about the Rewards Program or our Clinic — reach out to an Earlybird Feed Specialist!
