Midwest Feeders: Your First Choice for Quality Cattle Feeding

Midwest Feeders: Your First Choice for Quality Cattle Feeding

When it comes to choosing the right place to feed your cattle, one name stands out above the rest: Midwest Feeders, Inc. Jeff Sternberger, the manager and part owner of this reputable commercial feedlot located just north of Ingalls, Kansas, is committed to making Midwest Feeders your first choice in the selection process.

Jeff Sternberger's lifelong involvement with cattle and farming has provided him with invaluable insights into the industry. After completing his college education, he ventured into the world of agriculture banking, gaining valuable experience in financial management and operations. However, his passion for cattle and the desire to offer top-notch cattle feeding services led him to take a significant leap.

In 1992, Jeff, along with a small group of investors, acquired a closed 4,000-head feedyard. This marked the beginning of a remarkable journey for Midwest Feeders. Sternberger immediately set to work, assembling a talented management team and expanding the operation. By 1996, the capacity had increased to an impressive 20,000 head.

The commitment to growth and excellence didn't stop there. Midwest Feeders continued to evolve, investing in a new feedmill and acquiring an adjacent section of land across the highway. These strategic moves included the installation of a state-of-the-art steam-flaker for processing feed corn, which significantly enhanced the facility's capabilities. As a result, Midwest Feeders now boasts a capacity of 52,000 head.

At the heart of Midwest Feeders' success is its dedicated management team, led by Jeff Sternberger. Assistant Manager Matthew Welsh, Office Manager Angie Hale, Cattle Foreman Frank Littrell, Payables Clerk Heather Seifried, and Cattle Clerk Rachel Oliver all share a common goal: customer satisfaction. They understand that their clients' success is paramount and consistently strive to exceed expectations.

Midwest Feeders takes pride in being a customer-oriented feedyard, with a strong focus on producing the highest quality beef while keeping input costs to a minimum. Their mission also extends to assisting customers in marketing their cattle at the best possible prices. What sets Midwest Feeders apart is its ideal size—a feedyard that's large enough to be highly competitive yet small enough to provide personalized attention to each customer's unique feeding requirements.
