United Producers is a market-leading provider of livestock marketing, financial services and risk management.

“United Producers Inc. (UPI) treats me fair, and I’m comfortable working with them,” said Carl Jolliff. “They know my business, always take time to work with me, and they have all the services I need for my operation.”

“Through UPI’s Coordinated Feeder Services, small farmers can get cattle fed the same way a large farmer can,” said Carl about UPI’s services that procure cattle from a vast market area and arrange trucking for farmers to send their cattle to feedlots.

UPI also groups cattle to finish loads and provides the quality of cattle feedlots want.

“I sell most of my cattle through the Van Meter Feedyard,” said Carl. “They run a professional operation, and I’m very comfortable sending my cattle to them.”

“We never would have met Carl without United Producers,” said Matt Van Meter.

Previously, the Van Meter’s did not feed a large number of cattle from Illinois. With the help of United Producers, the number of cattle fed from this area has grown significantly in the past four years.

“We like dealing with United Producers because we can get any size and quality of cattle we want all year long,” said Eric Van Meter.

“Our experiences with the UPI representatives and the cattle they provide have earned our trust,” said Matt.

“The cattle we receive from United Producers are a true representation of our expectations,” said Eric. “You get the cattle you want when you want them.”
