On-Site Grain Milling
Corn is flaked at our yards to make it easy for your cattle to utilize every last kernel.
On-Site Grain Milling
Our high-performance grain flakers let us process grain as needed, so we can serve our rations with freshly-processed feeds.
Flaking makes corn more digestible, so the highest percentage of the grain is converted to cattle mass and marbling, while the strain on the animal's system is lessened compared to conventional grinding.

Precise Rations
We consult expert nutritionists and veterinarians to design bespoke feed programs.
Precise Rations
We monitor the performance of each animal in each pen to dial keep our feed calls dialed in.
Computerized feed-batching systems contribute to precise, efficient, and cost-effective rations. The flaking and batching technologies have been a part of Dinklage since their inception in 1969.
