Our History. Excellence in Agriculture.
Strauss Feeds is a family-owned agricultural business. Today we make high-quality milk replacer for calves and other young animals, but over 150 years ago, the company was just a small water-powered mill on a farm along the Eel River in North Manchester, Indiana. Founded in 1875 by Daniel Strauss, the great-great-grandfather of the current managing generation, the mill was a place where farmers came to grind their grain. Today, we still have that same feed mill and continue our family’s tradition of agricultural excellence into a sixth generation.
“We believe a family-owned business is the best type of business.”
Over the century, our business has experienced several transformations. Although the nature of our work has evolved through the years, the purpose of our work remains the same: our employees and customers remain at the center of everything we do, to deliver the highest-quality products and customer service.
Beginning in the early 1970s, the company began developing feeding programs for veal production. By the 1990s, Strauss Feeds began manufacturing milk replacers for dairy calves and dairy beef.
