Location: CTX | I am in the middle of changing my horses over to RG with all the grain issues lately. And I have been reading that I am not the only one.
So, are you anticipating this increase in usage?? It wouldn't be good changing everybody over only to find out that next time we need it it is being back ordered...
Thanks!

Location: southeast Texas | I'm feeding two horses RG. Right before I open my last bag I call the feed store to see how many bags they have. (And have them lay eyes on the bags they think they have) |

Location: In The Land of Cotton | I got mine today. My local TSC will not carry it so I had to drive to Jeffers to get it. I will continue to go and get it. I am excited about using it. |

Location: CTX | Yea, for some reason all TSC's around here (we have 3 in a 30 mile radius) don't stock it.
But one of our local feed stores does. So I guess I will be making sure I get new bags as soon as I open the last one. And maybe I can get at least 1 TSC to start getting it. |

Location: Golden Gulf Coast of Texas | None of my local TSC carried it either when I started using it last year. My regular store was selling for $38.95 and now has it at $42.50. I called my closest TSC and they are ordering it and said they would order a few more than what I needed and if it started selling they would order on a regular basis. Oh and the price is $31.95. Just call your store and they can look it up and see that they can order. I love how my horses are doing on it. I have a 4 year old mare that has been hard for me to keep weight on and I worried about putting her on it but she looks great. I feed a pound a day with a cup of alfalfa pellets. |

If they don't stock it go bug em! The first time I had to special order it but now they're stocking a few bags. I pay $29.99.

Location: Oklahoma & Texas | I switched all mine over to Renew Gold about 8 weeks ago and my horses are doing great on it and they LOVE it...it's funny the 1st day they could smell it when I started mixing it in and kinda turned their noses up at it but then overnight they all decided to eat it and ever since then they decided they love it..so much so that they lick their buckets clean which never happened before and even my gelding whose soo picky and chooses his alfalfa before grain always now he waits for his renew gold lol even if he has alfalfa in front of him...i mix my renew gold with just a couple handfuls of purina senior only because I have some supplements like msm and electrolytes that don't stick well to the renew gold...but i am very happy with it. |

| Our TSC is also starting to carry it and many others are making the switch.
I have been feeding it for a year and LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Can't say enough good things. |

Location: CTX | Mmmm, maybe we need TSC managment to step in. Why is it so difficult for some store to have it, and some have no issue with it......
Also, not sure what you all are pa[aying, but the feedstore I get it from now has it for 34.95 plus tax..... The tax is just because some people use it as a supplement....

Just tell the feed store that your using it for cattle. No tax! I pay 28.20 a bag. |

Location: Willows, CA | Sorry that I did not respond here sooner. I am enjoying the last two days of quail season with friends in Texas and have very poor internet service on the ranch. To answer your questions , we can make plenty of Renew Gold. We do no direct store sales, so all goes through distributors. As long as a store puts an order in, they will be able to get it. That does not mean that all stores are good about maintaining inventory. One advantage of the very low feed rate is that planning ahead for your needs can be pretty easy. The Tractor Supply deal is frustrating. The item number for their system is 1054391. If your local TSC store gets its stock from Waverly Nebraska or Waco TX they can simply add it to their order and it will come to the store like anything else that they order. Many Tractor stores that do not draw from those warehouses are using that item number to special order RG. In that case, it is a store by store decision to do so. We are pushing them to expand to more warehouses as hard as we can. On a brighter note, we can help with a local independent feed store if you call us at 530-934-9300. Don't rely on our dealer locator, it is hopelessly wrong, and we are working right now on a better system. Call us, we can answer your feeding questions, and find you a store just about anywhere.

Location: CTX | Thanks for answering. 
I am actually 30 miles from Waco, so I would think all our TSC's around get their stock from there. But I will ask the manager next time I am in the store.
And I do agree with the low feed ratio making it easier to plan ahead.

Location: WYOMING | I tried a bag and really like it but I won't pay $53 bucks when friends up the road a bit are paying $30... so until the supply chain is better I had to go to another product more readily available. |

Location: In The Land of Cotton | My TSC said he can't even order it. Jeffers had to for $34 so I got it from there and also got a day trip with husband. So not bad for me. |

Location: OKLAHOMA | I had ed ADM for almost 14 years. After speaking with Win a couple of weeks ago. I switched my 3 to Renew Gold. I have noticed like somebody else said the horse seem to really like it, also I noticed yesterday one of my girls is starting to shed also. I have posted on one of the other threads also. I want to extend a huge prayer to all those who are fighting this battle and for those horses with issues from the junk. Good luck to all those switching and/or trying to figure it out.. |
