We believe raising livestock is still one of the best ways to raise good kids.

Hard work, patience, resourcefulness, grit, and resiliency are sometimes best taught in a barn. 

Like so many things in the modern world, we can lose sight of why  we do what we do. We replace caring for our livestock, the earth, and each other with purple banners, bigger barns and trailers, and buying our way to ‘happiness.’ At Timmons Feed, we want to be part of passing on the gift and legacy of livestock to the next generation. That’s why we are starting our youth development program Feed Success.

Feed Success. In Livestock. In Life. 

We want to hear your stories. A new skill you learned, a hard struggle you overcame, or a way you used your livestock to bless others. We encourage our 4-H age customers to submit a paragraph or two, along with a few photos. Maybe you learned to trim hooves for the first time, built a new fence with your grandpa, or gave eggs to someone in need. We want to hear how raising livestock has grown you for the good!  Applications will be reviewed by a panel of respected customers who are generously donating their time.

2 students will be selected from each age category (grades 3-6, 7-12) to be awarded some awesome Timmons Feed gear AND $100 to use in the store!!

(Parents- we want this to be a kid project, not a parent project!!! Let them use their own ideas, words, and thoughts, we like it better that way anyways! 😊)

Also, stay tuned for more details on our Feed Success night during the Boone County Fair!
