Avon Cattle Food

Our place, Avon Cattle Food, is located at A/144-3 in the MIDC TTC Industrial Area over in Pawne. If you’ve ever been through this part of the industrial zone, you know it’s mostly warehouses and factories. We are right in the thick of it. Most of the time, it’s just the sound of machinery or trucks backing in to load up. The air usually smells a bit like grain and feed, which is just part of the job here. We spend a lot of our time moving bags around and checking the quality of what’s coming in. It’s a lot of physical work and it gets quite hot in the afternoons under the industrial roofs. We don’t have a fancy front office; it’s mostly just a desk tucked into a corner of the warehouse. We’ve been in Pawne for a while and have gotten used to the rhythm of the industrial area. There’s always someone coming by to pick up a load for their livestock. We just try to keep the supply steady and make sure the bags are stacked right so they don't fall. It’s honest work and it keeps us busy from early morning until the sun goes down. We aren’t trying to do anything flashy, just providing the feed like we always have. It is a simple life centered around the cycles of the seasons and the needs of the animals.
