“Honesty is the best policy." For brothers Mel and Marvin Huyser that’s not just an old saying. It’s a code they live by, the way they run their cattle feeding business and how they lead their families. Customers come from word-of-mouth or longtime connections. In turn, the feedyard gets more high-quality cattle and helps create more of them. “It’s about treating people right, treating people with integrity,” says Mel’s son Daron, who joined the family business in 2005. “We want to take care of the customer cattle the same way we would take care of our own—and even better—because their trust is in us to take care of their cattle." For building beneficial relationships and their drive to produce the best, M&M Feeders recently earned the 2020 Feedyard Commitment to Excellence Award from the Certified Angus Beef brand.
