Feed Focus ~by Gregg M. Sherwood

Aurora Cooperative and Doc’s Wildlife Blends The Aurora Cooperative Elevator Co. has entered into a Manufacturing and Distribution arrangement with Doc’s Wildlife Hunters with a BearBlends Inc. We will be manufacturing and distributing both feed and feed plots for Doc’s. I have asked Doctor Ken Vettel and Doctor Tim Jones to put together an article for patrons of the Aurora Cooperative to explain their passion for this endeavor…

“Blending Science, Medicine, and Wildlife Nutrition.”

We’d like to take the opportunity to announce a new product line of production, and distribution for Aurora Cooperative. Aurora Cooperative, in cooperation with Doc’s wildlife Blends, LLC, has begun a new phase in agricultural production by expanding into the field of wildlife nutrition. By combining the high quality of agricultural production, efficiency, buying power and market distribution of Aurora Cooperative with the science, medicine and nutrition expertise of Doc’s Wildlife Blends, we have laid the foundation ensuring major impact in the hunting and wildlife nutrition industry. Doc’s Wildlife Blends is a corporation founded by Ken Vettel, MD (Doc V), Tim Jones, DDS (Doc J) and Tyler Vettel (medical student at UNMC).

Because of their deep interest in wildlife and the outdoors, these three outdoor enthusiasts combined their science and medicine backgrounds with privately contracted animal nutritionists and mineral experts to ultimately develop …what we believe is a near complete line of wildlife nutrition products that will redefine wildlife nutrition. These products will be produced under the company name of “Doc’s Wildlife Blends, LLC” for sale and distribution by Aurora Cooperative.
