This is not just TSC. I went back to the local feed store recently & bought Purina feed in February. I was thrilled that the mill date was 2/7 which was just 11 days prior. Since they are a Purina dealer, I thought I had finally found the solution to old feed. Sent my husband for 2 bags on the 18th last week & he came home with bags dated 1/7, so my search is on for fresh feed again. I only like TSC because I can see the dates & pick through them.
