Thank you for Subscribing to Agri Business Review Weekly Brief
Before the sun rises over the hills, the day has already begun for farmers and ranchers.
In an industry where margins are thin and nature always has the final say, grit alone isn’t enough to stay afloat. Producers must maximize what they already have: genetics, management practices, and resources. But often, there’s a hidden gap between what livestock are eating and the performance they deliver. This nutritional disconnect can quietly erode profits or stall the kind of progress that moves a ranch forward.
Agri-Best Feeds turns this shortfall into strength by offering premium supplements and equipment—where nutrition meets nature. As a family-owned company, Agri-Best wasn’t born in a boardroom or built from spreadsheets, but shaped in feedlots, pastures, and real ranch conditions—grounded in deep agricultural roots. Today, Agri-Best helps ranchers across the U.S. get more out of their forage, improve animal health, and keep their operations profitable.
“We seek to enhance producers’ lives by helping them unlock the full value of what they already have—every blade of grass, every bale of hay, and every hard-earned dollar—to help maximize their animals' genetic potential,” says Scott Anderson, one of the owners.
Agri-Best supports all sectors of the beef industry from cow-calf operations and grazing stockers to backgrounding and finishing cattle in feedlots. Its customer base relies on scientifically proven products that improve conception rates, increase daily weight gains, and reduce health issues. These outcomes help cattle reach their full potential while boosting returns on existing forage and resources. Every product was tested on the family’s own livestock before being offered to customers and is backed by hands-on education and support to ensure real value.
Agri-Best’s core offerings include SweetPro, a distiller grain-based product enriched with vitamins, minerals, and a powerful digestive aid. Unlike molasses-based alternatives that simply increase appetite, SweetPro enables cattle to extract up to 25 percent more nutrients from forage.
Animal health is further enhanced through Redmond Minerals, a natural sea salt mined in Utah that contains over 60 trace minerals. Redmond also mines a volcanic ash conditioner that improves rumen function, binds toxins, and enhances feed efficiency—beneficial not only for cattle but also for soil and even human applications. Complementing this nutritional support, the company utilizes Arrowquip equipment to ensure that livestock are handled with maximum safety and efficiency.
The impact of these products is illustrated by a compelling success story from the Shepperson Ranch in Wyoming. The ranch was split into two operations, each with 450 cows of identical genetics and environment. One brother continued to use SweetPro and Redmond, while the other eliminated supplements to cut costs.
After just one season, the SweetPro group weaned 58 more calves, each 122 pounds heavier—and the added revenue far exceeded the cost of supplementation.
This kind of result laid the foundation for Agri-Best. The company began after rancher Irv Haidle tested SweetPro on his own herd. The product reduced hay usage by 28 percent while improving cattle contentment and performance.
Built on firsthand experience, Agri-Best continues its legacy as a trusted partner to farmers and ranchers. Through a growing dealer network and direct ranch delivery from its warehouses in Montana and Nebraska, the company ensures efficient service and reliable support nationwide.
Agri-Best has a bright future as it continues to expand the value of SweetPro and Redmond in maximizing True Feed Efficiency. In addition to growing market share of its current product offerings, the company is introducing the new Agri-Best Feeds RumenEdge Tubs. Agri-Best Feeds RumenEdge Tubs leverage new technology to combine the value of Redmond Conditioner, garlic, and yucca in a distillers grain tub. Agri-Best is also exploring new markets, including feedlot solutions and soil health applications, as part of its continued growth across the U.S.
What started as a test of a new supplement has become a quiet revolution in livestock nutrition. With high-quality products grounded in real ranch experience, Agri-Best is helping producers raise healthier cattle, maximize forage, and strengthen their bottom line—one operation at a time.

Making More Money From Smart Livestock Nutrition and Distribution
People who raise livestock have a time because the cost of food for the animals can change a lot the quality of the food is not always good and they have to make their animals healthier without using more land. When these people look for companies to buy food from they do not just think about whether the company has the food they need or if it's cheap. They also want to know if the company can help them use the food efficiently make their animals healthier and give them good advice based on the local conditions the type of animals they have and what they want to achieve. Companies that just sell food without helping with these things often struggle to make a difference when the weather's bad the food is not good or the animals are not growing well.
How well the animals use their food has become very important for people who raise cows young cows and cows in feedlots. These people want to buy food that helps the animals use the nutrients better not just eat more. This is especially important in areas where the amount of hay how the pasture is managed and how many animals are on the land affect how money they make. Buyers want food that helps the animals digest their food better keeps their stomachs healthy and helps them stay healthy when the food they eat changes. They are looking closely at foods that help with digestion and have minerals because if the animals do not absorb the nutrients well they will not grow well have babies or use their food efficiently.
How companies sell and support their products has also become more important. Many ranches are spread out over areas so it is important that the companies deliver the food on time and have local people who can help with any problems. Buyers like companies that can deliver food directly to the ranch and have dealers who understand the challenges of the area. It is also important that these companies can explain why their products are good how they can help and give advice based on the conditions the type of animals and how they are managed.
Another thing that is changing how people buy food for their animals is the connection between what the animals eat how the soil is managed and the overall health of the animals. Farmers are looking for products that help the animals use their food better keep them healthy and help the soil stay healthy in the term. They are interested in products that help with digestion and have special minerals. They also want to know if the companies they buy from products that are really good for the animals rather than just selling a lot of different products.
