Frequently Asked Questions about Loomix® Dealerships:
Why be in the liquid feed business?
The liquid feed business is the fastest growing segment of the livestock supplement industry. Liquid usage has grown an average of 10% per year the last 20 years due to improved technology, which has made the products superior in quality and easy to feed.
Who normally makes a good liquid feed dealer?
Do you come from a ranching background or have ag-related experience? Do you own an existing business that services the ag community, such as veterinary services, fertilizer, fuel, feed or sales? Do you know people in ranching communities? Are you a recent college graduate that would like to supplement your family's ranching business or build a career in the ag industry? If you answered yes to any of these, you'd probably make a great Loomix® Dealer!
Successful liquid feed dealers come from a wide variety of ag-related businesses. Many successful Loomix® Dealerships come from ranch families. The nature of the business and the equipment used make it a good fit for many individuals or businesses. Large cooperatives, fertilizer dealers, fuel dealers, feed dealers and auction barns also have successful Loomix® businesses.
Does it take a lot of money to be a Loomix® dealer?
When you join the Loomix® family, you'll actually own your own business which requires equipment, product and training. Loomix® has convenient financing programs to help you start your Loomix® business. This means a lower initial cash investment and high profit potential. Much of the equipment needed to get into the Loomix® business is available at your existing ranch or place of business.
Is Loomix® cost-effective to the cattle producer?
Since 1952, Loomix® Dealers have supplemented over 100 million head of cattle. Our products are continually researched, formulated and improved to maximize utilization of the nutritional resources available. This guarantees our customers' cattle are healthier and ultimately more profitable.

It is cost-effective for the cattle producer versus other supplement alternatives and personalized Loomix® feeding programs can be designed for each operation.

Per4mance Verified™:
The Per4mance Verified™ pre-conditioning program is a cooperative effort between ADM Alliance Nutrition, Inc and Micro Beef Technologies that provides cow/calf producers with one simple solution when it comes to choosing a package to help add value to their calf crop. The Per4mance Verified™ program combines nutrition and animal health programs that are proven to get calves ready to handle the stress and animal health challenges seen at the feedlot. Producers participating in the Per4mance Verified™ program also receive the advantage of having their calves age and source verified through Micro Beef's PVP program.
Per4mance Verified™ combines all of these programs into one package while providing producers tools to increase their marketing options and demand for their calves. Producers who are participating in the program have seen the benefits that a complete, verified pre-conditioning program can provide at the time of sale. Calves that go through the Per4mance Verified™ protocols are in demand due to the fact that they are age and source verified, and are more likely to stay healthy and perform at the feedlot compared to calves that do not receive similar protocols at the ranch prior to shipment. Per4mance Verified™ puts pre-conditioning and age and source verification into one simple package for cow/calf producers looking to add value to their calf crop. Per4mance Verified™ eliminates the guesswork, providing a simple, turnkey package that will produce verifiable results.
