Taurus Premix and Boss Feeds are two sides of the same commitment: helping Western Canadian producers get more from every acre, every ration, and every herd. From custom mineral blends to weather-tough tubs, our team brings decades of ranching experience, nutrition science and hands-on service to operations across the Prairies.
Taurus Premix Ltd. began in 1952 hauling raw salt and minerals to ranches across Southern Alberta. Over the years, that small operation grew into a full nutrition partner—designing custom mineral programs, premixes and salt solutions for beef, dairy, sheep, goats, horses and mixed herds across Western Canada.
Boss Feeds grew alongside Taurus to supply mineral tubs and farm essentials like baler twine, netwrap and DEF. Together, Taurus and Boss Feeds help producers align precision nutrition with the practical products they need to keep a ranch running—under the leadership of a team that lives and works where you do.
