REALLY read the lables on Wild bird seed or Black oil sunflower seed you find in Costco and Walmart.... Some are packaged with what they call a feed through insectiside.... Because it the product keeps longer on the shelf.

I found this out through a discussion of BOSS on one of my horse sites. I had been feeding the Walmart Boss... there was a clear warning on it NOT for human consumption... and fine print.

as I read to find back up for my assumption I find that the companies that were doing it have either quit or sold off their bird seed division. I would read those lables though...

The one I get seems good. It is Audubon society approved.

It had good reviews and was recommended from several sites.

Their Cattle panels are a good 20 dollars cheaper than any one else in San Diego at 25 dollars a panel. I need to refence my yard and this will be the easiest way....

Stall mats are six dollars cheaper.... 39 at TSC any where else in San diego 45...

And finally the type of water tubs I use for my horse.... 110 gallons with a drain. Made of recycled materails and have semi flexible sides. I love them they stand up to the sun very very well. Feed stores here are selling them for almost 200 dollars. I got two at Tractor Supply for 120.

So No I dont get feed there I use my regular feed store.... but there are things that TSC really passes on bulk purchasing value...

Black Oil Sunflower Seeds.... They eat them shell and all. My horse mumbles when she gets her seedsies.... She loves them so much she will go back and pick them out of her poo if one makes it through.....

Normal for horses... acutally good for them helps keep their gut healthy.... Same for chickens too actually.

Both rely on gut flora and fauna for good digestion.

Thats why fermented feed is soo good.

I didn't know that horses likes BOSS. No wonder I am being mugged trying to get feed out to the poults. He sniffs the ff and curls his lip up though.

Quote: I'm glad you can find things you like there. I just buy my feed at the Co-op or pest control items.
Most anything else we shop at other places like Marvins or Lowes or Home Depot but we always compare prices before we purchase.
