Other Livestock Feeds, Grains & Supplements
Practical feeding options for hobby farms, goats and mixed livestock enterprises
Counterpoint Stockfeeds manufactures a range of supplementary livestock feeds, grain mixes and pellets for hobby farms, smaller livestock enterprises and producers with specialised feeding requirements.
Manufactured in Barham, NSW, our range includes general-purpose livestock feeds, goat feeds, rolled and crushed grains, protein meals and selected liquid supplements.
Our Sales and Nutrition Team can help customers choose suitable products based on their livestock, available forage, feeding system and nutritional requirements.
General-Purpose and Hobby Farm Feeds
CPS Hobby Farm Pellet
CPS Hobby Farm Pellet is a palatable, general-purpose supplementary pellet for mixed livestock enterprises and hobby farms.
Manufactured using selected cereal grains, legumes, protein meals and other feed ingredients, it also contains a vitamin and mineral premix.
It can be used as a supplementary feed for suitable livestock, including cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry. It is not a complete feed, and feeding rates should be matched to the animal and other available feed.
CPS General Purpose Mix
CPS General Purpose Mix is a textured blend of rolled grains, legumes and vegetable protein meals, combined with molasses and vegetable oils.
It provides an alternative to pellets for customers preferring a grain-based supplementary feed for mixed livestock enterprises.
The mix is not a complete feed and should be used alongside an appropriate feeding program.
Goat Feeds
Counterpoint Stockfeeds also manufactures dedicated goat feeds for producers looking for a feeding option suited to their animals and production stage.
CPS Goat Pellet
A pellet option for goat feeding programs, with the appropriate feeding rate and supporting forage determined by animal age, body condition and nutritional requirements.
CPS Doe and Kid Pellet
A dedicated feed option for doe and kid feeding programs, where the requirements of breeding females and young growing goats need to be considered.
Our Nutrition Team can assist with product selection and feeding recommendations based on the goats, forage quality and production objectives.
Rolled Grains, Crushed Grains and Protein Meals

These products may be used as ingredients in suitable livestock rations, with inclusion rates depending on animal species, production stage and the balance of the overall diet.
Product availability, packaging and minimum order quantities should be confirmed with our Sales Team.
Liquid Feed Supplements
AGRiliq Basic
AGRiliq Basic is a concentrated liquid protein supplement designed for use in cattle, sheep and goat rations.
It is intended for incorporation into suitable grain mixes, feedmill formulations and total mixed rations, rather than feeding as a complete feed.
As the product contains non-protein nitrogen, including urea, its inclusion and use should be determined by a qualified livestock nutritionist. It is not suitable for horses.
Custom Feeds and Nutrition Support
Counterpoint Stockfeeds can also discuss custom pellets and grain mixes for customers with specific feeding requirements.
Whether you are feeding a small mixed livestock enterprise or mixing grain on farm, our team can help assess suitable feed options, available ingredients, forage and nutritional requirements.
What Is the Difference Between Pellets, Grain Mixes, Grain Blends and Crumbles?
Counterpoint Stockfeeds manufactures livestock feeds in several forms to suit different animals, nutritional requirements and on-farm feeding systems.
While pellets, grain mixes and grain blends can be formulated to similar nutritional specifications, the way the ingredients are processed and presented can influence feed handling, consistency and how livestock consume the ration.
Pellets
Pellets are manufactured by grinding and mixing cereal grains, protein meals, vitamin and mineral premixes, and other ingredients before processing them into a uniform pellet.
This helps reduce ingredient separation and selective feeding, with each pellet designed to contain a similar balance of nutrients.
Why choose pellets?
Pellets are particularly useful where consistent nutrient intake is important, or where animals may otherwise select particular ingredients from a loose feed.
They are often preferred for:
-
Young livestock: Calves and lambs receiving formulated supplementary feeds.
-
Dairy cattle: Concentrates fed through dairy feeding systems where consistent delivery and handling are important.
-
Sheep and beef cattle: Supplementary feeding, backgrounding and feedlot programs where a uniform feed is preferred.
-
Automated feeding systems: Situations where feed flow and reduced ingredient separation are important.
Pellets can also be useful when feeding smaller quantities of concentrate, particularly where vitamins, minerals and other nutritional additives need to be evenly incorporated.
Grain Mixes
Grain mixes are manufactured using crushed cereal grains combined with protein meals, vitamin and mineral premixes, and other ingredients.
All ingredients are mixed together to produce a loose feed, with the crushed grains and finer ingredients distributed throughout the mix.
Why choose grain mixes?
Grain mixes are often selected where a loose concentrate is preferred and the feeding system is suited to handling crushed grain and finer ingredients.
They may be particularly suitable for:
-
Dairy farms: Concentrates incorporated into mixer wagons or total mixed rations (TMRs).
-
Beef feedlots: Loose rations mixed with roughage and other ingredients on farm.
-
Custom feeding programs: Where ingredient selection and grain processing are tailored to the livestock and feeding system.
-
On-farm mixing: Producers combining manufactured concentrates with their own forage or other feed ingredients.
Because the ingredients remain loose, appropriate mixing, handling and storage are important to minimise separation and maintain consistent feed delivery.
Grain Blends
Grain blends combine rolled cereal grains and legumes with a specially formulated pellet containing the protein meals, vitamin and mineral premixes, and other fine ingredients.
By incorporating these finer ingredients into a pellet before blending them with the rolled grains and legumes, the feed retains a recognisable grain appearance while helping reduce separation of the finer nutritional components.
Why choose grain blends?
Grain blends are useful where producers want a textured feed containing recognisable rolled grains and legumes, while keeping the finer nutritional ingredients incorporated into a pellet.
They may be preferred for:
-
Calf feeding programs: Where a textured grain-based feed is preferred as calves develop.
-
Stud livestock: Feeding programs where a textured ration is desirable.
-
Supplementary feeding: Situations where a combination of rolled grains, legumes and a formulated pellet suits the feeding system.
-
Bagged feeds: Products where reducing separation of fine ingredients during transport and handling is beneficial.
Grain blends can offer practical handling advantages over conventional loose mixes, although livestock may still selectively consume individual components.
Crumbles
Crumbles are manufactured by breaking formulated pellets into smaller particles.
They retain the nutritional formulation of the original pellet while providing a smaller particle size that is easier for young animals to consume.
Why choose crumbles?
Crumbles are particularly useful for young livestock that may struggle to consume larger pellets.
They are commonly selected for:
-
Chicks and young poultry: Where smaller feed particles are appropriate for the birds' age and size.
-
Piglets: Early feeding programs where feed particle size and ease of consumption are important.
-
Other young livestock: Where a smaller feed presentation is preferred.
Crumbles provide an alternative to meal or larger pellets where a smaller, more manageable feed particle is required.
Which Feed Type Is Best for My Livestock?
There is no single feed presentation that is best for every feeding system.
The most suitable option depends on the animal's age, production stage, nutritional requirements, available forage, feeding equipment and how the feed will be stored and offered.
A well-formulated pellet, grain mix or grain blend can each provide suitable nutrition when correctly manufactured and fed as part of an appropriate ration.
