Ingredient Solutions with BALANCE4WARD

September 25, 2022

Feeding cattle is the core of our business, and we are proud to support middle-market cattlemen through ingredient merchandising, nutrition consulting, and grain marketing services. Our clients are multi-taskers, often juggling responsibilities and facing daily decision-making in many areas of their business. We’re here to share some of the load, and help cattlemen to develop a streamlined, customizable, and communicable feeding plan.
Ingredient Merchandising

We are well-equipped to source the right feed, at the right time, in the right quantities on behalf of our clients. Our team of experts is well-versed in multiple feed products, including ethanol plant co-products, soy plant co-products, and blended feed that are produced at our Nodaway, Iowa feed mill. Our clients benefit from our vast network of ingredient processors throughout the upper Midwest. Our many carrier partners are able to ship directly to your feed yard seven days a week, setting you up for an efficient and stress-free feed program.

Nutrition Consulting

Every cattleman has a unique set of goals for backgrounding and cattle growth. Our proprietary rations can be customized to best support each phase of your cattle’s development. The Balance4ward team of cattle feeding experts is readily available to discuss the best feed options. Our rations are blended on-site at our Nodaway, Iowa location and are available to be either picked up or delivered directly to you. 

Grain Marketing

Our grain marketing business is designed to help cattlemen segment their farming operation from their cattle feeding operation, allowing them to sell their corn at the high and buy it back at the low. With this model, revenue can be generated from both sides. We can assist you with managing these components of your business separately for maximum financial gain on your end.


We live and breathe the cattle feeding process, and our decades of experience inform the customizable services that we offer to our fellow middle-market cattlemen. Whether you’re interested in one or all of our ingredient solutions services, you can rest assured that you’ve found a partner and an advocate in this industry that is committed to your growth and success.
