Farm · the feed mill at Delmas
Morgan Beef's farm at Delmas grows maize and soya, makes silage and mills its own cattle rations. Feed and custom feeding are available to other cattle owners by arrangement.
01Overview
Farm (feed, cattle, compost)
The feed mill mixes starter, grower and finishing rations for the feedlot from maize, silage, soya and purchased concentrates, to formulations set by the feedlot's nutritionist. The same rations can be supplied to outside feeders.
Maize silage and maize grain from the farm's own lands are the base of every ration. Surplus silage and grain are sold in season.
Cattle owners can place their cattle in the Morgan feedlot to be fed on the Morgan ration and marketed at slaughter. The agronomy page describes the farm and its crops.
