As part of our continued commitment to the highest-quality manufacturing and exceeding customer expectations, we will be changing where some products are made for the Midwest plants. We are transitioning the manufacturing of all horse and llama/alpaca feeds to our Eastern plants. This includes All-Stock products that can be fed to horses and other ionophore-sensitive animals including camelids (llamas & alpacas). These changes have started to take place for horse feeds already and will take place in November for All-Stock and Llama/Alpaca feeds.
