You need to put that info on your profile. That way, every time your name appears in a thread, your LOCATION will be listed on the far right of the message. "Some" people on this board may remember your name AND location, but I guarantee you I won't - LOL even though you are telling us in your name. HC TN can just be prefix of a farm name - not a location. Humor us old folks.

I'm sorry Kenny. That was suppose to be directed to TN HC Angus. I guess I read your name and had it on my brain when I was typing that. I'd say the delivery charge might get a little steep going to you. :lol:

Someone help me out here. I hear that word "commodity blend" more and more often on here and am wondering exactly how your feed company describes this and markets it. All complete commercial feeds are made of commodities so I'm wondering why this deserves a name like "commodity blend" and what makes it different, better, cheaper or what. It's not a term I run into down this way. Guess I'm just curious or trying to become more educated. lol

The farm stores have started selling a bagged mix of screenings, dried molasses, and cracked corn, and calling it commodity blend. Think it's at 14%.

Sort of like Friday's vegetable soup - made from Mon thru Thur leftovers. Not pure grain, not pure anything but enough of whatever to make the needed quality of feed. Some call it textured feed which is even less descriptive and means it is not 100% pelleted.

Gotcha and many thanks. Figured it had to be something similar.Guess for guarantees they just make sure they are very conservative since they probably don't know how much of any ingredient is in that mix. Down this way textured is more often used in horse feeds and will usually be a protein pellet, corn, oats and molasses.
