Whether you’re feeding dairy cattle or laying hens, we’ve got the feed products you’re looking for
United Cooperative is surrounded by some of the most productive dairy and beef counties in the state. But that’s not all we feed around here: there are also pigs, chickens, horses, sheep and goats as well as lots of family pets. With seven feed mills, plus partnerships with Purina and Quality Liquid Feeds (QLF), we offer plenty of options for every animal, from milk replacer to finishing feeds. We offer professional nutrition consulting services at each of our nine feed locations, and we also work with independent dairy nutritionists to provide concentrates, premixes and complete feeds for virtually any operation. With the addition of state-of-the-art mills in Shawano and Wilton, we have also introduced a new calf feeding program that is quickly winning over calves and producers alike. To learn more about our commercial livestock, hobby or companion animal feed and nutrition services, please visit the location nearest you (see location map below), or call our main office in Beaver Dam: 800-924-2991.

Coaxing the best performance out of each animal under your care requires more than just meeting their nutritional requirements. Our feed specialists are also trained to help with other aspects of livestock production, including benchmarking calf performance, identifying existing and potential health issues, and looking at environmental influences such as ventilation and hygiene. We like to say that we can help dairy producers from the time a calf is born, to when the cow leaves the dairy. To learn more, please contact one of our feed specialists, or call 800-924-2991.

Our top 10 tips for reducing heat stress in your calves.
As we continue to move through summer months, it is important to review if we are doing all we can to keep our animals safe during these hotter temperatures. Animals under heat stress decrease in dry matter intake, milk production, conception rate, and can calve earlier.
TMR Stabilizer can be used to prevent degradation in the feed bunk by stabilizing the pH in forages.
It contains 4 main acids that work synergistically to help control the stability of the feed.
Hot summer days have finally made their appearance and with that comes potential for heat stress resulting in decreased milk production in lactating dairy cows, lower feed intakes and lower pregnancy rates. Decreased feed intake can be caused by increased fermentation in our feedstuffs causing growth of molds and yeasts resulting in decreased palatability of TMR once it hits the feed bunk. This is where UC TMR Stabilizer comes into play.
