Consistent
service is a valuable commodity in the cattle industry.
Miller Feedyard owner Jim Miller, a cattleman himself, knew
this was important when he opened the business near Satanta
in 1968. Today, Miller Feedyard has a 17,000 head capacity
and can put years of proven
management and production experience to work for you, the
customer. This wealth of knowledge, combined with abundant
local grain supplies and strong competition for finished
cattle, gives backgrounders and cow-calf producers a
distinct advantage in retaining their cattle through the
feeding phase.

frequently.

finished, all of the major packers have an opportunity to
bid. Miller Feedyard is located in the "hotbed" of
the packing industry, where the demand for cattle is

| FEED
SUPPLIES ---- |
|
Cattle are fed a scientifically-formulated
ration, monitored on a regular basis by professional animal
nutritionists. These consultants put together a least-cost
ration for each pen of cattle that produces the highest rate
of gain.
- Haskell County is
one of the state leaders in corn harvested for grain.
- Milo,
wheat and other feedgrains are also raised in abundance
locally.
- Most of grain and silage is
purchased locally, keeping feeding costs among the lowest on
the High Plains.
