While I love them and stop by whenever I can (strange hours- 7am- 2pm) I find that they always seem to be out of stock on the items I need. From a convenience standpoint it's hard not to shop online from a retailer that I know has the stock.

We have two big feed chains, plus two different pet store chains, plus some local stores are starting to stock livestock feed so it's becoming increasingly hard for the little guys to make it.TBAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06791705770758173580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590491436630121808.post-23714630823274827162014-07-06T18:56:36.584-07:002014-07-06T18:56:36.584-07:00My favorite feed store is a small, family owned bu...My favorite feed store is a small, family owned business. I pay a little more there, but I love that they know me when I walk in, and are always happy to help and answer questions. The only time I go to the bigger store is if I need something the family owned store doesn't have.<br /><br />84 years is such a long time... it's a shame they're being bought out.in2paintshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17591335561198768308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590491436630121808.post-41153909238992009912014-07-06T11:06:08.411-07:002014-07-06T11:06:08.411-07:00So sad to hear they will be closing!

There's a little hardware store attached to it so you can't really get much else unfortunately. When I was living in NY, I'd always buy from the little feed store in town instead of TSC. Better prices, better options, and a great owner.Carlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17308477892024999793noreply@blogger.com
