| We all know of someone who has fed at one of the super-sized feedlots and come away confused and frustrated by the experience. Size Does Matter Wherever you house massive amounts of cattle there is going to be a heavy reliance on employees. And no matter their position or profit-sharing package, they cannot provide the level of care and feeding for the cattle like that of the feedlot owner. Because of our small size you can be confident that the people caring for your cattle are not just employees and overseers but the owners. By having the same person riding pens, the result has been a lower than industry average death loss rate and shorter recovery time. We Are Family Silver Creek Feeders is a third generation family owned and operated feedlot. In 1927, a newly married Harry Husz purchased a tract of land in southwest Iowa near what is now Treynor, Iowa, from his bride’s father. Despite hardships and setbacks, Harry and his family were able to flourish and grow the operation.
Harry’s son-in-law, Robert Chambers joined the operation in 1949. Robert shared Harry’s enthusiasm and they worked together for nearly 20 years. Robert became a pioneer in land stewardship and conservation. Under Robert’s direction, a feedlot expansion plan with an emphasis on conservation was implemented. |
