In 1960, Jim Ross founded a livestock nutrition company with the guiding purpose of allowing livestock producers to achieve the “best possible production at the lowest possible cost” by incorporating sound nutritional principals and innovative ingredients into vitamin and mineral premixes for on-farm blending of animal feed used in the production of meat, milk and eggs.
Today, over fifty years later, the GVF group of companies has expanded its product and service offering and its geographic reach through the creation or acquisition of numerous divisions and affiliated companies, all of which advance the three core purposes of the organization: profitable farms, healthy food, improved lives. 

PROFITABLE FARMS

Advancing the profitability and financial stability of family owned and operated farms is fundamental to all that we do at GVF. While continually embracing our founding principle by focusing on the efficiency and performance of livestock, GVF has intentionally broadened activities to allow livestock producers to lower the cost of production and to acquire more value for the meat, milk and eggs they produce and market. 

HEALTHY FOOD 

 

Recognizing that “we are what the animal ate” GVF has, through the development of its feeding programs, long prioritized the quality, safety, taste and health attributes of the meat, milk and eggs that its farmers produce. Advanced animal nutrition for improved human health is not just a slogan at GVF. This statement captures the reality that being in the livestock nutrition field puts GVF squarely in the field of human food production, nutrition and health. We take this responsibility very seriously and we are proud of the food products our producers produce day in day out on the farm.

IMPROVED LIVES

At GVF, we believe a vibrant and profitable agriculture industry is foundational to a country’s economic and a healthy food supply. As GVF advances profitable farms and healthy food, the improvement of life extends beyond the farm to the population as a whole. GVF is also committed to improving the lives of those less fortunate than ourselves both locally and globally through our philanthropic efforts.
