Steam-Rolled Barley

A premium, high-energy grain supplement that has been steamed and flattened to optimize digestibility and palatability. Steam-Rolled Barley is a favorite among show-animal owners and performance horse trainers for its ability to build “cool” energy and a smooth, finished body condition.

Description

Steam-Rolled Barley is a superior alternative to corn for those looking to add weight and condition without excessive “heat” or excitability. The steam-rolling process uses intense heat and moisture to soften the grain and break down the tough, fibrous hull, followed by heavy rollers that flatten the kernel. This process gelatinizes the starch, making it much easier for the animal’s digestive system to utilize the energy quickly and efficiently.

Commonly referred to as a “finishing grain,” barley is renowned for producing a firm, high-quality finish on meat animals and a blooming, healthy coat on show livestock. It is higher in protein and fiber than corn, providing a more balanced nutritional profile. Our steam-rolled barley is carefully processed to ensure minimal dust and “fines,” making it a clean, safe, and highly palatable addition to any premium feeding program.

  • 100% Steam-Rolled Grain Barley

  • Horses: Feed 2 to 6 lbs per day as part of a balanced ration. Often used to replace a portion of the corn or oats in a diet for improved condition.

  • Beef Cattle: Excellent for finishing rations; can make up 25% to 50% of the grain concentrate to produce a desirable fat cover.

  • Sheep & Goats: Highly effective for show animals. Feed 0.5 to 1.5 lbs daily to help “level out” the topline and add bloom.

  • Swine: Can be used as a primary energy source, though often mixed with other grains for a balanced amino acid profile.

  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Because the kernel is opened, it is best used within 45 to 60 days to ensure maximum freshness.

Products FAQ

Will barley make my horse "hot"?

Generally, no. Barley is digested more slowly than corn, leading to a more stable blood sugar level. It is considered a “middle-of-the-road” grain—more energy than oats, but safer and “cooler” than corn.

Whole barley has a very hard outer shell that is difficult for most animals to crack. Without rolling, much of the grain would pass through the animal undigested. Steam-rolling ensures you get the full nutritional value of every grain.

Absolutely. It is a secret weapon for many show exhibitors. It tends to put on a “smooth” finish and a healthy sheen that is difficult to achieve with other grains.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the product.

Calves can be introduced to 16% Calf Creep Feed as early as 4 to 6 weeks of age, once they begin showing interest in nibbling solid feed. Early exposure helps calves gradually adapt from a milk-based diet to grain and forage, supporting proper rumen development. Starting creep feed early can also reduce stress at weaning and encourage steady growth, especially when pasture quality is declining or milk production from the cow begins to drop.

I source my grain for animal and livestock feeds based on local suppliers. Often, I purchase directly from local farmers, especially if they produce seasonal crops. Additionally, I buy high-quality feed from larger agricultural supply companies when necessary to meet the specific needs of my animals.

To check the freshness of your feed product, start by examining its smell, as fresh feed usually has a natural, earthy scent. If it smells sour or musty, it could indicate spoilage. Next, check the appearance for any discoloration, mold, or clumping, which may suggest exposure to moisture. Feel the feed to ensure it’s not damp, as excess moisture can promote mold growth. Always check the expiration date, if available, and ensure the feed has been stored properly in a cool, dry place. Finally, look out for pests, as their presence is a clear sign of compromised feed. Regular checks and proper storage will help maintain the feed’s freshness and nutritional value.

Vital Signs in Horses

As a horse owner, you are the first line of defense. While your vet is the expert, you are the one who knows your horse’s “normal.” In an emergency, being able to provide accurate vitals can save your vet time and potentially save your horse’s life.

Horse Cooling Tips

When the humidity rises and the sun beats down, horses feel the heat just as much as we do—if not more. Because horses are large-bodied animals with heavy muscle mass, they generate a massive amount of internal heat, especially during work.

A Guide to Body Condition Scoring Your Horse

When it comes to horse health, “looking good” is subjective. One rider’s “fit” is another’s “thin,” and what looks like a “healthy curve” might actually be a metabolic red flag.

Body Condition Scoring Your Horse

Ever looked at your horse and wondered if that “roundness” is healthy muscle or a few too many flakes of alfalfa? While we all love a “shiny” horse, there is a fine line between well-covered and overweight.
