COVID-19 and the Cattle Market
How Koster Grinding can maintain your feedlot operations during this pandemic.
Many Cattle feeders are having to slow down the rate of gain on cattle in feedlots due to packing houses closing or operating at reduced levels. However, the rations can be changed so you are able to maintain stock during this pandemic. One critical thing that needs to happen in these rations is to have the roughage ground to the proper size so cattle do not sort the feed in the feed bunk.
Koster Grinding is capable and willing to grind roughage at a reduced and custom size for cattle feeders so these new rations can work successfully, and the cattle don’t sort their feed.

“In times of depressed markets many cattle feeders lean towards the “hold and hope” method of selling fed cattle, where they retain their cattle longer than is ideal with the hope of waiting out the down turn in the market.”
