The Winston County Self Help Cooperative and the Central Mississippi Small Farmers Alliance are composed of small cattlemen across east central Mississippi. Allen McReynolds, WCSHC member, expressed the concept of working with other groups to minimize costs and increase profitability. We have built a viable relationship with a company to purchase supplemental feed at a moderate discount. This feed meets our twelve percent ratio in terms of quality. The distributor purchases the feed in bulk and then passes along the discount to our members. We have been working with this company for ten years, and our members have been extremely pleased with the product. WCSHC extended an invitation for other groups to participate in the buying process. The Central Mississippi Small Farmers Alliance of Scott, MS, joined forces with WCSHC in 2020. James Gray hauled seven tons of feed for CMSFA members on Thursday, November 13, 2025. Allen said they will place another bulk feed order in December 2025.
