In the heart of Gull Lake, Marshland Feeds is rapidly becoming more than just a feed store—it’s the community’s trusted one-stop shop for livestock needs, building relationships and redefining what it means to be a local ag business.
Founded by owner Ryan Marsh just over a year ago, Marshland Feeds was born out of a simple yet powerful need: a complete, reliable feed store serving the area’s hardworking ranchers. “It’s important for ranchers to have a trusted business they can support their livelihood with,” says Cedar Hayne. “And Ryan made that possible with Marshland Feeds.”
From the beginning, the store has gone the extra mile—not just in stocking the shelves but in actively supporting the community. Whether it’s sponsoring local 4-H clubs, steak and lobster nights, or golf tournaments, Marshland Feeds understands that strong community roots grow loyal customers. “We strive to support our community to gain their support back in return,” the team explains.
When a major competitor like Peavey Mart closed its doors, Marshland Feeds didn’t just fill the gap—it stepped up. “We’ve adapted by bringing in new products and steadily increasing our inventory,” says Marsh. “From bagged feeds to tags and panels, our store is becoming the ‘one-stop shop’ people are looking for.”
Feed That Works as Hard as You Do
Offering everything from bulk pellet delivery to totes and bagged feed, Marshland Feeds carries a wide selection to suit every kind of operation—dairy, poultry, hogs, sheep, equine, and cattle. Customer favorites include their developer mash, layer mash, and new goat and sheep rations. During calving season, products like diatomaceous earth and vitamin A, D, and E are always on hand to keep herds thriving.
As proud dealers of Boss Feeds and Taurus Premix, Marshland Feeds offers premium-quality minerals, salts, and 250 lb lick tubs. “Boss Licks has become extremely popular in the area for their larger tubs with natural prebiotics,” says Marsh. “They make your cattle healthier and better performing without breaking the bank.”
Working closely with Taurus Premix allows Marshland to offer custom blends tailored to a rancher’s specific herd and land. And best of all? “We offer FREE DELIVERY directly from Taurus and Boss for a minimum of 3MT,” the team shares. “To your yard, free of charge—that’s the type of quality customer service Boss, Taurus, and Marshland offer!”
More Than Feed
Beyond nutrition, Marshland Feeds stocks livestock essentials like creep feeders, panels, and tags from Y-Tex, Z Tag, and Allflex. You’ll also find everything from injectable vitamins and ivermectin to calving gear and even BBQ products from Redmond and Smoker Broker. Oh—and don’t miss out on Ryan’s Full-Blood Wagyu beef, available for sale in-store.
Local Service You Can Count On
“Clients appreciate a store that will work for you,” says Marsh. That’s not just talk. Whether it’s extending hours or setting up short-term Net 30 accounts to help customers through tight times, Marshland puts people first. “Ranchers are instrumental to the agriculture industry and responsible for putting food on the table. We want to make sure they’re taken care of.”
That people-first mindset extends to those new to livestock or pet ownership. “We’re always willing to help you determine the best feed for your operation,” they say. “We have nutritionists who can analyze feed and water results and create a formula specially suited to your needs.”
Looking Ahead, Growing Strong
With the recent addition of Masterfeeds to their lineup, Marshland Feeds continues to grow strategically. “This gives us more options for customers, saves them a trip to the big city, and helps us be more competitive price-wise.”
Despite the challenges of product availability and economic swings, Marshland is focused on solutions—whether that means finding alternate feed sources or helping customers adapt without sacrificing herd health.
But for Ryan Marsh, the most rewarding part of the business is simple: “Seeing returning customers. That helps keep the vision alive of being locals’ one-stop shop they can count on.”
If you’re looking for a feed supplier that knows your name, understands your needs, and gives back to your community, look no further than Marshland Feeds—where livestock nutrition meets genuine local service.
