How Custom Nutrition Works:

Our process is built to deliver reliable, repeatable results by making sure your herd gets exactly what it needs at every stage.

  1. Herd & Forage Audit: We review herd size, production cycles, forage tests, intake habits, and on-farm challenges to establish a clear baseline.
  2. Precision Formulation: Our nutritionist, Jim Hansen, builds a mineral or supplement formula based on your forage profile, seasonal needs, and performance goals.
  3. Production & Delivery: Your custom mix is produced at our Cardston facility using consistent, high-quality ingredients and delivered through our trusted partners.
  4. Performance Review: We monitor reproduction, body condition, intake consistency, and overall herd health — adjusting the program as conditions change.
  5. Ongoing Support: As forage quality shifts or challenges arise, we refine your program to keep your herd performing at its best year-round.
