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.

When we told the team that PRIME was officially going live on the web this week, their reaction said it all 🙌 “Finally.”
Positive feedback has been pouring in on this dense, nutrient-rich feed powered by Show-Rite Beef NutriBase 400 A Plus. It’s been a game-changer for many already, and we’re excited to help even more families learn about it.
SR PRIME DX, manufactured by Earlybird, is available at all our locations and throughout our dealer network. This high quality feed is designed to deliver maximum energy, muscle shape, and bloom on today’s genetics.
Have questions or want to see if PRIME is right for your program? Our cattle team would love to talk.
