Cattle Feed & Supplements in Visalia
Keep your herd healthy and productive with quality cattle feed, minerals, and supplements from Mineral King Feed & Supply, serving ranchers and hobby farms across Tulare County.
Quality Cattle Feed for Central Valley Herds
Whether you run a commercial cow-calf operation, raise a few steers for the freezer, or are preparing a 4-H or FFA project, the right feed program makes a real difference in weight gain, condition, and herd health. Our Visalia feed store stocks dependable cattle feed and supplements so local producers can find what they need close to home.
Beef Cattle
Rations that complement pasture and hay help beef cattle maintain body condition through dry seasons and support efficient growth in young stock.
Show Steers and Heifers
Youth exhibitors need consistent, balanced nutrition to reach target weights and finish well for fair season. We can help you plan a feeding approach.
Calves and Young Stock
Growing calves need adequate protein and energy to build frame and muscle. Proper feed supports a smooth transition after weaning.
Understanding Cattle Nutrition
Cattle are ruminants, which means forage is the foundation of their diet. Feed and supplements fill the gaps that hay and pasture alone may leave behind.
Forage First
Good-quality hay or pasture should make up most of the diet. Forage keeps the rumen working properly and provides much of the energy cattle need.
Protein Supplements
When forage quality drops, as it often does in late summer, protein supplements help cattle digest fiber and hold their condition.
Energy Feeds
Grain-based feeds add energy for growing, finishing, or lactating animals. Introduce grain gradually to avoid digestive upset.
Minerals and Salt
Free-choice minerals and salt help cover common deficiencies and support reproduction, hoof health, and immunity.
How to Choose the Right Cattle Feed
No single ration works for every herd. Matching feed to your animals' stage of production helps you get better results while managing costs.
Consider Stage of Production
Growing calves, bred cows, lactating cows, and finishing steers each have different protein and energy needs.
Read the Feed Tag
Check crude protein, fat, fiber, and feeding directions on the label, and follow instructions for any medicated feeds.
Make Changes Slowly
Switch feeds over one to two weeks and always provide plenty of clean water to keep the rumen healthy.

Do you carry cattle feed in Visalia?
Yes. Mineral King Feed & Supply carries cattle feed and supplements for beef cattle, show animals, and young stock. Call (559) 909-0075 to check current products.
How much feed does a cow need per day?
It depends on the animal's weight, stage of production, and forage quality. Cattle commonly eat roughly 2 to 2.5 percent of their body weight in dry matter daily, mostly as forage.
Do cattle need mineral supplements?
Most herds benefit from free-choice minerals and salt, since hay and pasture often do not provide every mineral cattle need.
What should I feed a show steer?
Show steers need a balanced, consistent ration with good-quality forage. Talk with your project advisor and our team to choose a feed that fits your goals.
How do I switch my cattle to a new feed?
Transition gradually over about one to two weeks by mixing increasing amounts of the new feed with the old, while providing plenty of clean water.
