| I went to the feed store to get triple crown complete and they told me it had been bought out and discontinued. What would a comparable feed be? I have access to Purina, Nutrena, Integrity, and I am sure a few others.
Thanks! |

| Gosh i absolutely LOVED triple crown feeds. Especially the senior. It was the absolute best but when nutrena started milling for them, the mills on west coast just were not as good as when it was milled by TC themselves. The quality and consistency went way way down and the new mills are not ionoohore free. But I sure loved it !!! |

Bluebonnet is now taking over milling Triple Crown as I understood my friend. Cargill is who I believe used to do it. A good friend of mine works for Blue Bonnet and told me about it a couple months ago. |

You were absolutely CORRECT!!!! I went and picked up 4 bags of FRESH TC Senior this afternoon and sure enough, it has a NEW TAG, Not Nutrena and from a totally different mill than before. Popped open a bag and the feed is once again BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!! I could not be happier. My letter writing must have helped! |

I hope so to. The mill out here in CA is a clean mill. You can tell just by looking at the feed it has MUCH improved over what it used to when cargill milled it. It actually looks like blue bonnet feed. lol. |

| Hello everyone,
We have looked over this thread and do want to help clear up some confusion. Our Company has not been sold to anyone, none of our core feeds such as Complete, Senior, Low Starch, Lite, 30% Ration Balancer etc have been discontinued. As of the last few months, we have made some manufacturing and distribution changes that effect various regions of the US. We have discontinued our relationship with Cargill and have had various mills take over manufacturing and distribution for us. We are working to improve our distribution network by adding dealers across the country. During this process we may lose some dealers or have feed become available once the dealer is set-up to work with our new distrubitor. This confusion may have folks telling you we are discontinued at the store you visit. Please contact us if you are trying to find our feed and we will help you out. Call us at 800-451-9916, email us at info@triplecrownfeed.com with your questions. Thank you.

| RodeoCowgirl4u- For California locations, the manufacturer is OH Kruse. If you are around OR/WA- feed is coming from OH Kruse also.
Texas feed is made by Bluebonnet and not entirely sure how far out they distribute. Getting the lot # off bags can help determine the manufacturer for sure in anyone's particular area.

I think thats great that Bluebonnet is milling for TC, Bluebonnet is about the only name I trust in milling safe feeds. I got to go pick up feed today and I will ask about the TC being milled there if I can remember, the lady there at the store is so knowlegeable about the mill. |

Ok I had looked into TC last year but never bought any bc I saw Cargill was mixing it.
I'm interested again since I've been thinking of adding a grain to my hard keeper's diet.
He is on 25/7 pasture with decent grass. They're able to graze all day.
And we feed nice, quality alfalfa 2x a day. We don't weigh it, but we do measure it by filling tubs. Every horse is fat except him, and we give him the most hay. He looks "good", but I'm not satisfied lol. He's just a big lanky built horse and I was thinking of adding a concentrate just to give him a calorie boost. I would probably only start at a 1/2 serving since he does get the alfalfa.
Which mix would y'all recommend? Complete or senior?? Something else? Thanks!!! :) |

I no longer trust any of the feed mills and is why I will never feed processed feeds agains. My horse is doing great without them and I don't have to worry what was mixed before the bag of feed I'm feeding. |

What I heard from someone who works there the contamination didn't happen at the mill it happened before, that plus the feed that was contaminated was crap feed |

| For those that feed the TC 30 do you feed it with anything else? It's a ration balancer? I tried the tc sr before and I liked it but I wasn't happy when I started finding corn in it and I had to keep the bags in my mud room because in the winter the bags would be rock hard. I'm wondering which feed would be the best for my horses. I prefer a dry small pellet |

| @willrodeo4food and @Winwillows-
Feedback we have from Western Milling- Western Milling has a dedicated “non-medicated or equine only” mixing system and separate ionophore free pelleting systems. At no time will any equine feed being made at their facility be exposed to an ionophore. To provide extra assurance for its customers, every lot of equine feed must pass a monensin medication test before it is released for sale.

Sorry, same old song and dance - the ionophore products are still in the same plant. And, the monensin test is just a test. The FDA has no guidelines on the amounts that can be in the product. So, while they may test it, doesn't mean it is good for the horse.
The best bet would be the product that they say will be produced by Blue Bonnet, at their facility. Not just a plant that has a "separate" line. |

To provide extra assurance for its customers, every lot of equine feed must pass a monensin medication test before it is released for sale. Jessica Drexler, Triple Crown Feed I sent you PM
The best bet would be the product that they say will be produced by Blue Bonnet, at their facility. Not just a plant that has a "separate" line.
I agree with this 100 percent. It's just not worth the risk for me. |

If there's no chance the horse feed produced there will come into contact with ionophores, then why do they test it? I know the Triple Crown produced out here is milled by Blue Bonnet now so there is no risk at all. |

Ding dong - you win -
Because there is a chance if it is in the same mill. That is why I don't trust any of them that have it in the same facility. Almost killed mine. |

Location: Willows, CA | While chances of contamination are small on a separate production line, they are not nonexistent if there are medications in the plant. Ingredient storage, and hand mix locations may not be as isolated. In addition, they don't take into consideration a disgruntled employee. I once had a guy that was just fired put a dead rat under the shrink wrap of a pallet of feed on his way out. Dropping a handful of something on the mill line on the way out is not that difficult if there is access to it. We will only manufacture where there is no medicated ingredients on the facility property, period. That is the only way to really know. |

If you don't mind me asking, what do you feed now? I've been feeding purina and I did love and fed blue bonnet, but it just got too hard and expensive for me to feed. I've decided, just recently, to nix the processed feed... and have just been feeding some nice crimped oats and the best alfalfa hay I can get here.. and I'm wanting to incorporate the renew gold in again to finish it off. |

Not only this but we are all human. Accidents happen, things get spilled or labels get mis-read. I might not be happy if the feed in my bag doesn't match the label because there's to much oat or corn or vitamin/mineral supplement in the mix but at least none if those things will kill my horse. |

I would call the store where you bought it from and ask them. I would think it came from OK since Bluebonnet is milling it now. |

| I am in Montana and out TC is still milled in a shared mill so I won't risk it. I stopped feeding it over a year ago I got tiered of the feed being different every time we bought a bag and after talking to the feed store they are still having problems. We don't have many options here but I feed a more regional feed LMF it is milled in a safe /clean mill or I order Tribute feed from amazon. I had a terrible year with my horses already due to some issue with our hay so won't risk a feed that could be bad as well. |

| In the case of the Iowa trainer, ractopamine is NOT an ionophore yet the Triple Crown was still contaminated with it. |

Wow, after reading this and if I were feeding Triple Crown I think I would be rethinking about feeding it, such a bad deal for the trainer, horses and owners. If I were feeding it I would be making darn sure it was coming from the Bluebonnet mill. |

Location: In the Hills of Texas | I was thinking about buying Triple Crown Senior again. Well that lasted for a short 2 days. LOL
For those who didn't read the article...here is the bottom line. I sure hope Triple Crown is paying for all the expenses and inconvenience of this.
According to the stewards' ruling, “the contaminated feed was Triple Crown 14% Racing Performance feed produced at the Consumers Supply Distributing mill, located in North Sioux City, South Dakota. The mill has identified and confirmed, through independent testing, that the Triple Crown 14% Racing Performance feed Lot #20505624 is contaminated with ractopamine.”
Entered into evidence was a “letter from Consumers Supply Distributing in North Sioux City, South Dakota, taking full responsibility for the contaminated feed that was provided. The mill ran cattle feed supplemented with Optaflexx (ractopamine) prior to the production of the Triple Crown 14% Performance Racing feed Lot #20505624.”
The Triple Crown 14% Performance Racing Feed from lot #20505624 was then sold to trainer Kelly Von Hemel via Griff's Feed, a local feed supplier in Altoona, Iowa, the town in which Prairie Meadows is located.

I was thinking about going back to the sr too, but I changed my mind after seeing this on facebook. |
