MLS TEXAS SPREAD - Midcontinental Livestock Supplements. Inc. has turned a pasture area into a 'spread'

look to the area. Construction continues with office areas being built, and over die neat two years. Texas
manager Paul Orwig said that additional construction w* be scheduled as a production plant is planned for j
construction and a new front office area w* be added. _ ii«„ rhul|), C4t0lMou.

; considered during the past couple of
years, but that the company decided
on this current location a little over a
year ago. MLS began distribution from
the Valley Mills location in August last
year.
“We’re basically working on a three-
year plan for this location,” Orwig said.
“Sales are going great from this cen-
ter. We’re up 40% in the first quarter
of the year, and we will be putting in
the production facility next year.”
“We hope to expand the building
complex during the third year, adding
on to the front of the existing ware-
house with a more permanent, rocked-
in office area," Orwig added.
The easiest explanation of the prod-
ucts thit MLS offers is rouse the
company’s slogan — The future in live-
stock nutrition now.
“The patented production process of
the supplement tubs is the key to con-
sumption controygCrwig explained.
“The continuous (low cooking process
of the all natural beet molasses leaves
no excess moisture, and, in the end,
seals each nutrient in, eliminating
waste from weather conditions and
also allows an almost indefinite shelf-
, life.”
“We offer a variety of tubs for cattle,
which include 10 different supplements
for different needs. There is the high
protein, grass stretcher, calf creep, con-
ditioner supplement, and performance.
MLS also has designed a fly control
supplement which prevents the devel-
opment of flies in the manure of treated
cattle,” Orwig added.
Along with the supplements for
cattle, MLS offers one supplement spe-
cifically for horses, and two for sheep
and cattle.
“Almost any animal can benefit from
the concentrated supplements,” Orwig
said. “They contain only all-natural in-
; gredients which offer necessary pro-
tein, along with magnesium,
potassium, iodine, vitamins A, B, D, E,
and others, depending on the supple-
ment.”
‘The base to all the supplements is
the enzyme Amaferm, that is a patented
fermentation extract which is the
source of certain growth factors known
to be an economic benefit to livestock
production.
“After finding the desired enzyme,
it was necessary to develop a way of
controlling the intake in animals. The
molasses cooking process produced the
slow release base that meters all the
ingredients into the animal.
“There is no salt, bittering agents, or
chemical hardeners in the MLS tubs,”
Orwig said. There is also no added
water for weight. The product is actu-
ally almost water free."
With production opening in a third,
plant in the coming year, the small size
of the company allows for flexibility in
its tubs and the specific needs can be
designed for certain areas of the coun-
try-
Orwig, and his wife, Rochelle, and
children Amy, 15, Kaitlyn, 7, and Jona-
thon 3, now call Valley Mills home.
“I’m really proud to say that both
Amy and Kaitlyn are on the honor roll
at Valley Mills schools," Orwig added.
Plant manager Dave. West also has
moved to Valley Mills with his two chil-
dren, Maranda, 3, and Shelby, 1. - ■
Orwig added that MLS is planning
to throw a big barbecue later this sum-
mer at their new center outside of Val-
ley Mills. Keep tuned to the Record for
further details.
