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.

👋 Join us in welcoming our summer intern, Brenna Wilkins of Bennett, IA!
Wilkins is a sophomore at Iowa State University studying Agricultural Communications and pursuing a professional sales certificate. She grew up on a row-crop and cow-calf operation in Eastern Iowa where she quickly gained a huge passion for the livestock and agriculture industry.
“I’ve been showing livestock my whole life, mainly cattle and a little bit of goats. I recently just started my own MagnaWave and red-light therapy business last summer called “Five Star Therapies.” My passion for agriculture goes way beyond the show ring; the people who have made this industry feel like family, the friendships and connections made, and helping the future generation is what I truly love the most.”
After college, Wilkins plans to pursue a sales position in the agriculture field as well as continue growing her families’ cow-calf operation and genetics.
“I believe Earlybird has one of the most innovative and knowledgeable teams in the industry and I look forward to learning from them! I am so excited to be a part of the Earlybird team and can't wait to see what this summer has in store!
We are absolutely thrilled to have Brenna with us this summer! She’s humble, hard-working, and driven and we know she’s going to excel at Earlybird.
We’d like to extend a big thank you to each and every person that applied and showed interest in our program — we spoke with an impressive group of individuals!
Don’t go far! We have TWO more spotlights! 🥳🤩

Last year, Sarah and Garrett Hintze welcomed us to their family farm on a beautiful March day, and we felt like we could've spent the entire afternoon with these two.
When we first arrived, we stepped inside their shop and Sarah had a newborn calf wrapped up in towels laying in a pack 'n play - she was busy, and you could tell she had an eventful morning. Within a few minutes of being on their farm, we witnessed Sarah's compassion, positive energy, and strength. We knew we were in the right place.
Sarah and her husband, Luke, are first generation farmers that started out with cattle and hogs and within the past few years they have grown their chicken business! As you can tell in the video, their son Garrett soaks everything in and also shares the same passion.
"Everything we get for our cattle, hogs, and chickens comes from Earlybird - we love the company we work with - they have the highest quality of feed and protein you can give your livestock."
Hintze Farm has a Facebook page - be sure to give them a follow!
