Distillers Dried Grains With Solubles (DDGs)

DDGS deliver a solid combination of protein, fat, and energy in a single ingredient — making them a versatile and economical addition to balanced rations. With crude protein typically in the 26–30% range, they're commonly used to partially replace soybean meal in dairy, beef, swine, and poultry diets.

Crude Protein: 26–30%
Crude Fat: 8–12%
Crude Fiber: 7–9%
Moisture: 12% max
Form: Pellet or dry mash, bulk

Soybean Meal

Soybean meal is one of the most widely used protein sources in livestock and poultry feed. With a consistent 46% protein profile and high digestibility, it's a reliable base ingredient that works across species and ration types. We source solvent-extracted soybean meal and supply in bulk to feed mills and feeding operations across the Upper Midwest and Western U.S.

Crude Protein (Min): 46.0%
Crude Fat: 0.5–1.8%
Crude Fiber (Max): 3.5%
Moisture (Max): 12.0%
Ingredient: Solvent-extracted soybean meal

Corn Gluten Meal

Corn gluten meal is a byproduct of wet-milled corn with a concentrated protein content and low fiber — making it a high-value ingredient in pet food and poultry diets. It also functions well as a bypass protein source in livestock rations. High energy, consistent quality, and strong nutritional density make it a useful tool in formulated feed programs.

Moisture: 8.0–14.0% (Typical: 10.0%)
Crude Protein: 60.0–64.0% (Typical: 63.5%)
Ash: 1.0–3.5% (Typical: 1.5%)
Crude Fat: 1.0–4.0% (Typical: 2.0%)
Aflatoxin: Max 20 ppb
Vomitoxin: Max 2.0 ppm
Zearalenone: Max 500 ppb
Color: Golden yellow
Odor: Clean, typical of CGM
Texture: Fine, free-flowing powder

Edible Bean Culls

Edible bean culls are screened beans — pintos, navies, blacks, and others — that don't meet human food grade but deliver solid protein and energy value in livestock rations. They're a practical, cost-conscious option for dairies and beef operations looking to stretch their feed dollar without sacrificing nutrition. Nutritional profiles vary by bean type — reach out and we'll match you with what's available.

Moisture: 12.57%
Dry Matter: 87.43%
Crude Protein: 27.09% / 23.68%
AND Fom: 10.43% / 9.12%
AND F: 10.45% / 9.14%
Fat (EE): 1.98% / 1.73%
Ash: 4.41% / 3.86%
NFC: 58.52% / 51.16%
TDN: 82.90%
NEL (3x): 86.87 Mcal/cwt
NEG: 67.24 Mcal/cwt
NEM: 97.96 Mcal/cwt
Form: whole, rolled or ground

Canola Meal

Canola meal is a solid performer in dairy, beef, swine, and poultry diets — and a cost-effective option when soybean meal prices run high. Its amino acid profile pairs well with other protein sources, making it easy to work into existing ration formulas. We source solvent-extracted canola meal for bulk supply to mills and feeding operations.

Crude Protein (Min): 36.0%
Crude Fat (Min): 2.0%
Crude Fiber (Max): 12.0%
Ash (Max): 8.0%
Moisture (Max): 12.0%
Glucosinolates (Max): 30 micromoles/g
Sodium Bentonite: Up to 0.5% for flowability
Ingredient: Solvent-extracted canola meal

Sunflower Meal with Hulls

Sunflower meal with hulls is a practical, cost-effective protein ingredient sourced from sunflower seed processing in the Upper Midwest and Mountain West. With strong regional supply, it's often competitively priced compared to soybean and canola meal. It works well in dairy and beef rations where additional fiber is acceptable, and is a solid option for operations looking to diversify their protein without sacrificing value.

Note: Hull-included sunflower meal carries higher fiber than dehulled — best suited for dairy and beef rations rather than swine or poultry.

Crude Protein: 28–34%
Crude Fat: 1–3%
Crude Fiber: 18–25%
Moisture: 10–12%
Available in bulk

Sunflower Chips (Hulled)

A clean, no-waste sunflower seed for wild bird feed manufacturers and bulk bird feed suppliers.

Sunflower chips are hulled sunflower seeds — the pure kernel with the shell removed. With no hull waste, they're a preferred ingredient for premium wild bird feed blends and attract a wide variety of birds. Easy to handle in bulk and consistent in quality.

Type: Hulled sunflower seed (chips/splits)
Crude Fat: 48–52%
Crude Protein: 20–24%
Moisture: 9–11% max
Form: Chips/splits, bulk
Common Use: Wild bird feed blends
