Hello,
I do not know any independent consultants. The farm-feed stores like Wilco usually have an on-staff person representing Purina that can help you. Of course they are there to sell Purina products.
What livestock are you feeding? Maryland Small Ruminant website has ration software for sheep and goats. I have fact sheets on feeding livestock on the OSU Extension Website - https://extension.oregonstate.edu/douglas/livestock-forages
OSU has the Beef Nutrition Workbook - Beef Nutrition WorkbookMineral Assessment
Mineral Supplementation of Beef Cattle in the PNW
Sheep Production Guide
I can assist with ration balancing by helping you use the above resources. My education and experience is in ruminant nutrition. Please let me know if I can help.
