    Founder Merlin Grimes had found success feeding cattle during the 17 years that he worked as an order buyer for Thies Packing. He and his wife Nelva decided they wanted to be more directly involved in the young cattle feeding industry... Golden Belt Feeders was born.Merlin set the first posts at the feedlot himself and from that humble beginning was born a business that today markets over 125,000 head of fat cattle per year.
    Merlin was able to grow the business by always adhering to three cardinal rules: Quality Service, Superior Performance, and Persistence. The feeding company that he started over thirty five years ago continues to focus on quality service and superior performance. Appreciation for the beef industry, persistence and savvy business skills have allowed Golden Belt Feeders to expand.
