Sheep & Goats
The numbers are smaller, but enthusiasm runs high
Iowa is ranked third for milk goats
While it may seem unlikely to those outside the industry, Iowa is actually third-ranked in total milk goat numbers, behind only dairy powerhouse states California and Wisconsin. Meat goats in the state have also increased since 2013, while total sheep and lamb numbers have declined slightly over that time.
Our sheep and goat customers are enthusiastic supporters of their industries, and our feed specialists stand ready to assist with your flock’s nutritional needs—including custom rations featuring Purina base mixes.
For all your dairy goat needs, call Gary at 641-660-0107.
For all your sheep needs, email Ceara or call 641-260-6179.
