Location: NC | i ordered 4 bags from my local TS (because they said you have to order 4 at a time), over a month ago and it still has not arrived. The manger at TS said she emailed supplier and was told they have been out of stock. And that they are showing some bags in inventory now and it should be arriving soon.... That was on Monday and still no RG..... I am just worried now that even once it comes in I cannot rely on it coming in for future orders. |

| SAME HERE!!! After chatting with winwillows I ordered 5 bags before xmas from my local tractor supply..well as of Friday they keep telling me "it could be on next weeks truck" I'm disgusted as I have an ulcer prone mare and really want to try this food. I'm in the Midwest, I don't understand if its available why it's not being delivered either. Anyone else? |

Mine keeps 3-4 bags on the shelf and they usually disappear quick. Hopefully they'll start stocking more. It's $8 cheaper at tsc than from my local feed store. |

Location: West Texas | TSC is a terrible outfit. Here they can't keep anything stocked reliably. Stores are run poorly and their distribution seems to be run poorly too. It's not just feed, but everything they carry. That is what it's like here anyway.

Location: CTX | TSC reliablitly depends on the people working there... I have 3 in a 35 mile radius, but typically use 2. 1 is close to work, and 2 is close to home...
I get RG at the 1st one. They usually have RG in stock, or on the way. But they do not rotate the Purina SR I use, so they will have 2-3 month old bags sitting there.... the 2nd one do not have RG on hand regularly (can't depend on it) but they do rotate their feed a lot better....
I am just glad I have the option to go to other stores....
We also have a family feed store, they do stock RG but at $35 a bag, I prefer $30... It does help to know I can go there if I get in a pickle. |

I am always afraid they will run out so I buy a few bags every time I go, I currently have about 3 months worth in my barn for my 5 horses  |

I agree. The ones that I've been to just seem really rink-a-dink.... I couldn't even name any names brand feeds they carry there...it's just weird.

Location: Texas | I called Manna Pro when my feed store said they were out and Manna Pro said there was no shortage or delay. It turned out my feed store was lying to me and had 6 bags delivered to me the next day after the Manna Pro rep called them. You should give them a call and they can see which distribution center is closest to you and tell you what's going on. |

Location: SE Missouri | We are experiencing our first issue with our local feed store and we order a months supply at a time. I'm pretty dang frustrated and considering switching.. We had horrible luck with Orscheln's so switched to the local feed store and all was good for 4 shipments now we have had to switch back to oats (which is ok but not what I wanted), and we ordered 11 and they got 4 bags in instead. I don't know what I want to switch to. The oat quality was so bad around here that I have to pay $15-20/ for oats..
Oh well just venting, lol.. |

A little bit more $$ but better than not getting any at all. |

The store here in town is just tacky, its ran very bad I hate going in that store, its like pulling teeth to get me to go there, lol. Now the one in New Braunfels is super nice and they keep alot on hand and if you do have to order something its there within a few days. Its very clean and professional..I know off topic here, sorry..  |

Location: Willows, CA | You can imagine my frustration with the current Tractor Supply situation. First of all, I checked on Friday, and there are over 7000 bags of Renew Gold in the distribution channels East of the Rocky Mountains. There is absolutely no reason for any store that orders Renew Gold from their regional distributor not to have it. Tractor Supply did clearly underestimate the demand, and they say that they are working on larger orders all the time. On the stores that do not have automatic replacement, which is most of them right now, the customer has to rely on store managers to see that Renew Gold is ordered, and that there is enough to have a reserve on the shelf. In most places they are getting better, but if they are not, please call us and we will help. Thanks for the support that you have shown for our product. 855 377 3639, or call Manna Pro customer service (they are awesome) at (800) 690-9908 ext 705 for your closest store. |

I would do this because I much prefer my local feed store that I buy her grain from now, and they even ordered some at the same time I ordered mine from TS and got theirs in like the next week. BUT I just can't afford $47 a bag... I asked if they would price match TS and they were going to but when I showed them the price they said they were paying more a bag then the $29 TS sells it for.....

I just leap frogged my little feed store, who I think has been doing a good job. There are 400 bags of RG at the DC in Arkansas. The guy was very nice and even let me know what the next order showed. I'm beyond ****ed. I called the lady at the feed store and let her know what was in inventory and I'm pretty sure I got her fired up. I order 11 at a time and they only had 7 scheduled for the next run. They would have lost me as a customer if that's all that arrived. I like supporting the small store but DANG. I have to have feed for my horses.
I don't know what the breakdown is but she better get it straightened out or I may dust off my EIN number and start selling feed myself... |

| After reading all of the great comments on here about it, I went to my TSC, that is literally .5 mile from my house. and asked if they could order it and if they would be willing to. Of course they said yes, and they took my information, said they order from that supplier on Thursdays (this was a Sunday or Monday before the week of Christmas), and they said due to the holidays and messed up deliveries, they'd order it that Thursday (within 3-4 days) and it would take about 3 weeks to arrive. Well, it's Jan 19, and I haven't received it yet. I call every week and ask if it arrived, and they always tell me no. They say "it's on the order, not sure why it didn't come on the truck"....so I'm very frustrated with them (TSC, not RG). |

| Getting it at the TSC local to me was pulling teeth ... then they'd get 10 bags in and badger me that I only wanted/ordered 4 but they wanted me to pay for all 10 citing "we don't have a spot to store this feed". The customer service is horrible .... the next nearest feed store to buy RG is at least 90 mins away and I can't make that work. After 2 years of faithfully trying to work with them, I'm done. We don't even buy our livestock feed or supplies there anymore.

| Well, we finally got the first 5 bags of Renew Gold from TSC, and they gave us a bag for free.
Another TSC ordered some for us (we didn't realize it), we told them to put it out on the floor and that we didn't know they ordered it for us.
Original TSC we ordered from still has not gotten our last order that we did when we picked up the originial 5 bags and that was a month and a half ago....so now we are going to the other TSC to buy the 5 bags they ordered for us on accident.
We plan on just ordering from both of these stores and praying that between the 2 we have a steady flow. If I didn't like the feed so much we would be looking else where. I just really believe this is one of the best feeds on the market. I can't walk away from it! LOL I look at the ingredients of other feeds and really just don't like what they have compared to the Renew Gold. |

Location: Willows, CA | We are working every day to get Tractor Supply stores that currently stock Renew Gold to pay more attention to their inventory. There are some steps being taken that should eliminate much of this issues soon. As a horse person myself, I would not put up with a store that is chronically out of the feed that I have based my diet around. Please call us for help if you find yourself in this situation, and we will do whatever it takes to see that you can get Renew Gold when and where you need it. This is a place where the value of independent feed stores who's employees understand the needs of horse owners really shines. If you need help on the West Coast the number to call is 855-377-3639. If you are East of the Rocky Mountains there are two contacts that are divided basically by the Mississippi River. Western sector is Lisa at 800-690-9908 ext 774. East of the Mississippi would be Kat at 800-690-9908 ext 705. There is real help here from Lisa and Kat. Hang in there, RG is working hard to get consistent availability everywhere. |

I'm going to call the DC directly one more time Bc that guy seemed sincerely interested in helping me. It makes no sense to get it at another store when it is the exact same DIstribution Center sales rep.. Err. |

I have had no problems with my TSC. They order 10 bags at a time and I just pick up 4 which last me about a month. Itpick up the rest a month later and I place an order right than. I call back 2 weeks later to make sure its on order and 90% of the time its in the store. They are really working with me and I appreciate it. Right now its like a custom order and I appreciate their hard work. I just picked up my last 4 bags and will call in two weeks. Good luck its been worth the run around. |

I go every weekend and pick up 2 bags even tho I usually have 2-3 at my barn. What puzzles me is why the local feed stores have to pay so much and then pass it on to us? I had 2 stores tell me this and their price is $46 per bag. Why is this Winwillows? Very frustrating! |

The MannaPro rep I talked to said local stores have to get my it from other distributors and not directly from them and that was why the higher price..... But not sure why they can't buy directly from company? |

Keep in mind that it is probably not TSCs fault that they don't have a product in stock. They are also at the mercy of their supplier/manufacturer and can only do what they can do. :)
Sounds like the manufacturer is having problems to me. |

Manufacturing isn't the issue in my area.. There are 400 bags sitting at DC in stock that the store and sales rep can't get their crap together.. I think they have also stated they literally have thousands of bags in the DC inventories so again not manufacturing issue. |

RG has a ONE YEAR shelf life. So thats a good thing as far as freshness goes. But before I switched to curost/Whole grain clean diet/ I fed Ultium. My tractor supply would get in " Fresh" bags that were well over 60-90 days old. I was not a happy camper.. |

This is definitley my main concern.... I really like the idea behind it and have seen so many great reviews I want to give it a try. I was hoping maybe this what just a fluke problem with my local store, but sounds like it is an issue for a lot of people.... :-/ |

That's my problem. . If it starts getting harder to get.. I'm afraid I'll have to switch to something more readily available, unfortunately. |

There are 400 bags sitting at DC in stock that the store and sales rep can't get their crap together.. I think they have also stated they literally have thousands of bags in the DC inventories so again not manufacturing issue.
RG has a ONE YEAR shelf life. So thats a good thing as far as freshness goes. But before I switched to curost/Whole grain clean diet/ I fed Ultium. My tractor supply would get in " Fresh" bags that were well over 60-90 days old. I was not a happy camper..
How are they supposed to get you fresher bags? If they didn't warehouse them and have enough supply, people would complain about not having enough product. It takes time from manufacturing to the store. About 30 days would be the freshest probably possible, but then anything happens and you are out of stock. Just trying to put this in perspective. |

yes agree with that..... 90 days isnt that old,
but they said they arent getting the RG moved out... so how long will they sit there then.. weather may also play a factor..

Location: Willows, CA | Renew Gold is available to just about any independent feed store in the US through regional distribution. It does not have to go through Tractor Supply. That is just one channel of availability. All an independent feed store has to do is either call us, or ask their feed distributor. We have no issues in making the product, nor is it back ordered by us. All orders are going out on their requested dates. |

But why do the independent stores say that they have to pay more than what TSC sells it for? I have been told that by three different stores. |

| Well since my local TS hasn't gotten any in yet..(ordered it a week before christmas) I decide to drive almost 2hrs to get some at an independent dealer. She gets about a dozen bags a week in, NO PROBLEMS at all. Crazy how TS can't get it in being a HUGE company.
Anyhow, I've been feeding 1 1/2lbs per day for about a week now to my 3 horses. Just curious, besides hay, those that feed RG do you add anything else in their grain? I feel like I'm missing out and might need more vitamins besides RG? Just wondering! Any of you that feed what do you all feed with it. Thanks. |

I have seen in past posts that a lot of people seem to add Alfalfa pellets to it.... I plan to add it to the feed that she is getting now and gradually take away the grain. Then when she is at my traininers and turned out on their good pasture use just RG but when at my house with grass hay add alfalfa pellets..... I think.
Like you I worried about vit/min... So I wondered about adding a little ration balancer to it, or like Equilix or something...
IF I CAN EVER GET IT!!!!  |

Location: Willows, CA | We do not recommend added vitamins with Renew Gold.. As to mineral supplements, we typically add if there is a regional shortage, but most cases this is not necessary. You do need salt available, and we recommend Redmond. |

Tractor Supply is not stocking this in their Southeastern Distribution centers - I spoke with them myself. Our local tractor supply's have been ordering it since 11/15/15, to no avail (one shipment in December of 2 bags, LOL).
If you have any ideas how to get this in our Tractor Supply, please PM me. Thank you!!
