Livestock Feed Options for Cattle Sheep and Goats

Managing livestock means balancing nutrition with available forage to support growth, reproduction and overall herd health. From high-protein grower–finisher rations to flexible pellets, cubes and organic maintenance feeds, a variety of options help meet the needs of cattle, sheep and goats across life stages. Weather-resistant minerals and carefully formulated blends support consistent intake and nutrient absorption, even in variable pastures. 

For producers focused on maintaining herd condition, optimizing performance and simplifying feeding routines, these livestock feeds provide practical, reliable tools for everyday farm management.

Beef Grower & Finisher

Beef producers looking to add weight efficiently often rely on a straightforward feeding program, and a grower–finisher ration plays a central role in that approach. This blend is designed for cattle in the final growth phase, when consistent nutrition can influence everything from daily gain to carcass development. Paired with free-choice hay, the feed provides the grain energy cattle need to keep growing steadily without complicating an operation’s routine.

The formula includes lasalocid, a commonly used feed additive that supports rumen function and feed efficiency during high-energy diets. That can be especially useful for producers managing cattle through rapid growth or preparing animals for processing. A balanced mix of protein, fiber and essential minerals rounds out the ration, offering a dependable option for maintaining condition throughout the finishing period.

For farms focused on producing their own beef supply, this type of grower–finisher feed helps bring animals to market weight with clarity and control.

NutreBeef Cubes

Reaching and maintaining the right body condition can be challenging when forage quality dips or weather disrupts routine feeding. NutreBeef Cubes are ground-fed cubes that offer a straightforward way to deliver protein and energy without relying on troughs or bunks, making them useful for herds spread across large or uneven pastures.

Fed in addition to hay or grass, the NutreBeef Cubes offer 20% crude protein, with additional fat and fiber to support cattle during times when their nutritional needs rise. Many producers use them to help cows reach a condition score of five to seven at calving time or to keep bulls in similar shape through the breeding season.

For operations that juggle seasonal demands, shifting pastures or limited infrastructure, the ground-feeding flexibility makes NutreBeef Cubes a simple, adaptable tool for meeting nutritional goals.

Wind and Rain All Season

Managing mineral intake can be a challenge when forage quality varies, and Wind and Rain All Season minerals can provide a structured approach to filling those gaps. Designed for beef cattle at multiple stages — cow and calf, replacement and grower–finisher — these granular minerals deliver balanced ratios of all 14 essential nutrients. The line includes different phosphorus levels, allowing producers to match the mineral to their forage conditions and herd needs.

Large particle size and weather-resistant formulation help minimize losses from water absorption or wind, ensuring cattle can consume minerals consistently even after rain or snow. Certain formulas include Availa 4 trace minerals, which supply zinc, manganese, copper and cobalt at research-recommended levels to support reproduction and immune function in stressed animals.

For herds grazing in variable climates or on pastures with limited mineral content, Wind and Rain All Season minerals offer a practical way to maintain intake, support growth and reproduction and reduce waste caused by moisture or uneven consumption. 

Organic Cattle Maintenance Feed

Supplementing pasture or hay diets can be key to maintaining cattle health, and the Organic Cattle Maintenance Feed is formulated for that purpose. With 16% protein from certified North American organic grains, the feed supports growth, finishing and general maintenance for cattle at all stages.

Probiotics, kelp and a blend of minerals are included to help optimize digestive function and nutrient absorption, ensuring cattle make the most of available forage. Feeding rates range from one to three pounds per 100 pounds of bodyweight per day, allowing producers to adjust according to herd size and production goals.

The feed combines organic grains, legumes, oils and fermentation products to provide a wide range of nutrients in a supplemental form. For operations relying on pasture or hay, it helps maintain body condition, support rumen health and fill nutritional gaps, making it a consistent and practical option for everyday herd management.

13 Feeder Blend

Performance 13 Feeder Blend is designed to provide a flexible nutritional option for a variety of cattle management programs. With 13% crude protein, the blend supports growing cattle, replacement heifers and stockers, while also fitting into all-natural beef operations. Producers can choose between pelleted and textured forms, depending on feeding style or preference, and the feed can be offered in hand-fed or self-fed systems.

The blend is fortified with essential minerals and vitamins, including calcium, phosphorus, selenium and vitamin A, helping maintain herd health and growth. Pelleted versions improve flowability and encourage consistent intake, while textured options — such as cracked corn with cottonseed hulls or whole cottonseed — offer variety for cattle and flexibility for feeding programs.

Optional additives like Rumensin, Bovatec or Decox allow producers to tailor the feed for specific management goals. Overall, Performance 13 Feeder Blend provides a practical, balanced approach to meeting nutritional needs across different life stages and production systems. 

12% All-Stock Sweet Pelleted Cattle Feed

Producer’s Pride 12% All-Stock Sweet Pellets provide a straightforward option for supporting the health and maintenance of mixed herds. Designed for mature cattle, sheep and goats, the feed complements pasture or forage-based diets with 12% crude protein, while its molasses flavor helps encourage consistent intake.

The feed includes essential nutrients such as calcium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, selenium and vitamin A, helping to maintain growth, reproduction and overall herd health. Recommended feeding rates vary by species, size and production goals, and it is intended to be fed alongside good-quality forage at roughly 1.5% of body weight.

Because the pellets contain no added copper, sheep-specific mineral supplementation may be needed for mixed herds. Gradual introduction over seven to 10 days is advised to reduce digestive upset. Stored properly in a dry, ventilated area, Producer’s Pride All-Stock Pellets offer a consistent, easy-to-use feed option for farms managing multiple species on pasture.
