Distillers

Conestoga manages the marketing, sales, delivery and billing of co-products produced at our plants. These co-products include WDG, DDG, CCDS, and Corn Oil.  We strive to produce quality, consistent co-products that can be utilized with a great deal of confidence by our cattle feeding partners. More than a by-product, our distiller’s grains are considered a valuable feed ingredient! We price our products based on a dry matter of 35% and a crude fat content of 9.5% and stand behind these levels, adjusting the price when we are unable to reach these targets.
