We all want the picture-perfect backdrop shot, but livestock (and humans) rarely stick to the script. 😂📸

QUESTION: What is the funniest, most unhinged backdrop photo in your camera roll?

(Drop the photo below—bonus points if there’s four feet off the ground, a hog eating the floral arrangement, or a kid completely over it!)

PREACH Rule Supplements Rival Show Feeds!

Kinda crazy to think about.

Maybe things didn’t go the way you planned. Maybe you had to change course a time or two.

But one way or another, you figured it out didn’t you?

You’ve made it through 100% of the hard things thrown your way so far. Those are pretty good odds.

Keep betting on yourself. 💜

This past weekend, we invited our dealers to join us to take a look behind the scenes and thank them for all they do for us and their customers!

This is the first time we have done something like this and we were honored to have various dealers from across the west coast join us.

Our dealers were taken on a tour of our Sierra Grain terminal, as well as have lunch and tour our West Main Warehouse facility where we manufacture and house all of our products.

We were happy to welcome various vendors from StockShowSecrets.com, Central Life Sciences - ClariFly Larvicide, Show-Rite, Lindner Show Feeds, and Alltech.

Our very own founder, Rick Swanson addressed and told the back story of how Associated feed was founded by him in 1971.
