Manufacturing Animal Feed Since 1953

There has been a feed mill in operation at the same location in southeast Dallas since 1938, when a grinding operation for making hog and cattle feed was built in the community of Pleasant Mound near what is now the intersection of Loop 12 and Scyene Road in Dallas, Texas.

The old grinding operation was purchased in 1953 by Elmer and Helen Scott, who upgraded the equipment with a pellet mill and oat huller, enabling the mill to produce a full line of feed. Following the death of Elmer Scott in 1955, Jack P. Wimberly and his sister, Helen Scott became partners. Wimberly purchased his sister's interest in the business. In 1974 Jack's son, Mack, became his business partner and in 1976 Jack's daughter, Sherry Wimberly Deeds, entered the business.

Following the death of Mack Wimberly, his son Jack J. Wimberly, and Sherry Wimberly Deeds took over the business. Incorporated in 1980, Southwest Feed Mills, Inc. remains a family business to this day under the direction of a third generation of Wimberlys.
