T&M Cattle Co.

T&M Cattle Company, based in Marcus, Iowa, and co-owned by Mike Mayer and Chad Tentinger has rapidly grown in the cattle industry since its establishment in 2019. What began as a single barn has grown into a successful custom feedlot with five barns and the capacity to manage between 9,500 and 10,000 head of cattle. This growth reflects Mike & Chad’s dedication to innovation in cattle management.

The QLF Advantage

One of the key factors contributing to T&M Cattle Company’s success has been the incorporation of QLF (Quality Liquid Feeds) into their feeding program. Mike Mayer has observed many benefits from using QLF: “With the addition of adding QLF to the feedlot, we have witnessed the cattle stay on feed better and have greater consumption. Through the heat and cold, they stay on feed a lot better. We’ve had such good luck with QLF we are planning on using it for quite some time to come.” Mayer also emphasizes the consistency and reliability of QLF products: “I can count on QLF to deliver for me a consistent product every single time they bring me a load of feed.”

Expert Support and Consultation

Matt Lacey from Remsen Coop, who provides service and consulting to the feedlot, highlights the importance of controlling variables in feed yard operations. He notes: “With the combination of what QLF does for us as a supplement and what the confinement buildings designed and built by TenCorp Inc. do for us to control the environment, we can maximize and improve feed efficiency. I continue to see an improved feed efficiency of 3/10th of a pound, and that’s a big deal! Less feed for more pounds of beef equals more profit for the producer.”

Both Mike Mayer and Matt Lacey acknowledge QLF’s customer service. Lacey commends the entire QLF team, from tech support to dispatch, for their open communication. Mayer adds: “My QLF customer service is second to none. My rep is always there to help me change rations or talk about new incoming cattle. He’s always there to lend us a helping hand and steer us the right way to help the cattle gain and grow better.” T&M Cattle Company’s success story showcases the power of strategic growth, innovative feeding solutions, and strong partnerships in the cattle feeding industry. Their commitment to continuous improvement and adoption of feeding strategies like QLF has positioned them as a notable player in the feedlot industry.
