Best thing to do is find a store that's willing to be a distributor.
Start a petition in your area for Renew Gold.
I got my feed store ot carry it. Took a while but we got it done.
TSC now carries it and a few other stores are now carrying it in my area. |

I am in Ohio, not sure if any company in this area would get it in, and not sure enough people around me would buy it. I'll check into it! |

our TSC is the most undependable store around,i dont want to be the one searching for bags if it isnt available.
Who can tell me what is safe????I want a feed that does no medicated feeds at all,is there such a thing besides renew gold?
i find it soooo frustrating that they said their mill was free of medications,and yet they fixed what was wrong in their bins.  |

| I just spoke with Kalmbach Rep.
The horse products are made in a separate facility than all the other livestock feeds. They are several miles apart and they have issued an invite to those that would like to see the facility.
The FDA paperwork has blurred out the products, but I recall one being a rabbit food and other various livestock feeds. That paperwork could very well be for the other facility. Since there isn't supposed to be anything but horse feed made at the second facility the fact that this other type of feed is mentioned in the citation.

Location: In The Land of Cotton | winwillows - 2016-08-17 12:33 PM The answer is Renew Gold. Not just dedicated non medicated production lines. No medicated feeds made at the facility. No outside premixes that that might be contaminated. No medications on the property. Guaranteed. Win

Agree, I have not fed grain in about 7 years. Had one go off his feed due to ulcers but continued to eat his forage. Treated him and took all my horses off grain. I thought why the heck do I want to continue feeding something that is the first thing they refuse to eat when ulcers/stomach upset is present. |

I'm not sure why you are asking if the two plants share trucks? All feed would be bagged on manufactured site and would only leave there in bagged form on a truck.... All concentrated medications are also in bagged form. Not seeing a contamination issue there...

| That is a good question- I plan on a trip in the near future to view the plant.
That will now be on the list of additional questions

I have been told they are not all clean and most mill both but have separate lines but could still cause cross contamination. I could be wrong just what has been passed along to me. |
