Grand Meadow Feeders
Our crown jewel

Grand Meadow Feeders

Built on our Bryant family farm, Grand Meadow Feeders is the heart of Hoop Beef System®. It’s where we put our designs into practice, feed our own cattle, and continually improve the systems we sell to cattlemen across the country.

Facilities That Work as Hard as You Do

  • Five Original Hoop Beef System® buildings — each 320 feet long, housing 320 head.

  • Two Hoop Beef Choice System® buildings — also 320 feet long, housing 320 head each.

  • Integrated starting and receiving barn with built-in working and load-in/load-out facilities.

  • Custom-designed 75-foot commodity shed.

  • Two hoop bale sheds — 200 feet long, storing over 1,000 large round corn stalk bales.

These facilities aren’t just for show — they’re the same systems we design, sell, and use every day.

 

Feeding Our Own Cattle, Just Like You

Grand Meadow Feeders is part of our promise to customers: if we don’t use it, we don’t sell it. By feeding cattle in our own systems, we give you a tremendous advantage when deciding how to set up and manage your Hoop Beef System®.

Our goal is clear: to build the largest base of data and knowledge on deep-bedded cattle facilities in the world — more than any company or university.

Data-Driven Results

We rely on CattleXpert feedlot management software to track:

  • Cattle Performance

  • Feed Efficiency 

  • Bedding Usage 

  • Profitability

We even weigh every pound of manure hauled to our crop fields and run a nutrient testing program, ensuring we understand the full value of our manure management.
