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.

This week’s snap comes from Kyle Beutke 🥛🍫
Making the final push toward your target show? “Chocolate Milk” is one of Kyle’s favorite tools to use on his sheep and goats during the home stretch.
TX T (TEXAS TEA) LIQUID SUPPLEMENT and Gold Dust from Stock Show Secrets are the main ingredients in this recipe along with Buttermilk (available in the dairy aisle at your local grocery store). Start drenching with “Chocolate Milk” twice a day and sit back and watch them change!
💡 Pro Tip from Kyle Beutke:
“Make sure to weigh out your Gold Dust according to what species you are feeding!”
Have questions about mixing or using “Chocolate Milk”? Reach out to Earlybird Feed Specialist Kyle Beutke for tips, and stop by Earlybird for all of your favorite Stock Show Secrets products!
