Location: In the Hills of Texas		Makes you wonder if quality control is a thing of the past or does all of this seem to be happening more since nothing is no longer just local news?

As far as the dog food recalls...a lot of that goes back to China ingredients as so many of our small dog food companies have been bought by the big companies like Colgate Palmolive, Mars, Nestle and Proctor and Gamble and their bottomline is profits and they have the money to continue on doing business while the small dog food company would be put out of business. JMHO

Location: North Dakota		This doesn't surprise me considering some of the things you can find in people food. The good thing is that piece of metal surely would have been picked out by a horse. It's amazing what those lips can do.

suzy2qtee - 2015-02-26 9:04 PM First off YES I'd be pi$$ed. BUT most horses have really sensitive lips and won't eat foreign items in the feed. For example I had a horse that I was trying to use a wormer in her feed... the pellets were not much bigger than a grain of rice. She wouldn't eat them... I even counted out 10 of them and put them in her feed when she was done eating there was 10 pellets in the feed tub. 
LOL - when I first got into horses we fed an all-grain from a local feed store and it had alfalfa pellets in it.  One of my mares HATED the alfalfa pellets...everytime I would check her feeder after she ate and it would look like you had fed her grain - she had cleaned it up - then someone had dumped a cup of alfalfa pellets in the corner.  Not a single oat to be found - even amongst the pellets LMBO!!  

ETA:  I have to say I personally have found more stuff in the feed I used to buy from a small, local feed mill than I've ever found in Nutrena or Purina.
