How do you differentiate a feed brand's website in a saturated category?

Not by chasing a flashier hero image — every rival has one. By leaning into what rivals can't fake: a real family heritage (since 2007, still run by the same dairy-farming family), proof in farmers' own words (milk up 15%, faster calf weight gain), and a site that speaks the buyer's language literally — English, Hindi and Punjabi.

What's the content model for a catalogue like this?

Each product is a typed record with formulation, species, lifecycle stage, and related-product relationships. The site reads from that data model, so editorial changes don't require template tweaks and new SKUs inherit the system automatically.

How does the site handle dealer onboarding vs consumer enquiry?

Two paths. Consumer / brand enquiries route through the main contact flow. Dealer onboarding (pricing, MOQ, territory) is a gated path with a separate form and a follow-up cadence designed for a B2B sales cycle.

Problem

Cattle-feed sites in this category all blur together — a stock herd photo, a grid of product tabs, nothing that earns a farmer's trust over the next supplier. Corral has the opposite of a generic story: it started in a family cattle shed in Shahkot in 2007 and now feeds 5,000+ farms across six states — but the old site buried that heritage. They needed a face a dealer or farmer could trust at a glance, in the language they actually read.

How we built it

Approach

Lead with the relationship, not a product grid: a warm hero of a farmer with his herd under a 'Feed the Future' promise, wrapped in heritage cues — 'Since 2007', 'Wholesome Nutrition', 'Trust & Quality'. The About page is told as a family story — 'started in our own cattle shed; now feeding 5,000+ farms.' The full line — 11 SKUs across Calf & Heifer, Milking Feed and Transition & Dry — sits on a single /products surface with a live detail pane, so a buyer comparing a calf starter and a milk feed never loses context. Real farmer success stories (milk up 15%, faster calf weight gain) carry the proof. And the whole site reads in English, Hindi and Punjabi — because a buyer in a Punjab mandi shouldn't have to translate.

Decision log

What we decided, and why.

Why the hero leads with the farmer, not the sack

In a low-trust category, the differentiator isn't another product render — it's whether a farmer believes this brand actually knows cattle. So the homepage leads with a farmer and his herd under a 'Feed the Future' promise, and the About page opens as a family story (two second-generation dairy farmers, a cattle shed in Shahkot, 2007). Product photography earns its place on the catalogue — where the buyer is deciding which feed — not on the homepage, where they're deciding whether to trust you at all.

Why a single catalogue page with category filters

Splitting catalogue by species (separate cattle-feed and buffalo-feed pages) felt structurally tidy on paper but added clicks for buyers who actually wanted to compare options across species in one session. We collapsed everything into a single /products surface with persistent category filters and a live detail pane — every SKU stays one click away, regardless of where the buyer started.

Why the distributor form is short and sticky

The realistic context for a dealer enquiry is a phone in a mandi with a flaky connection. The form is three fields, stores partial state locally, and reconciles on network reconnect. The longer 'full enquiry' flow lives on a separate page that buyers opt into after first contact.
