That’s not Triple Crown. That’s ProElite.
I guess Cargill are trying to poach TC customers by saying it’s the same as TC Senior.
Cargill supplies the employees at your feed store? That’s weird. Mine are employed directly by the feed store.
Where on earth would you get a notion like that ?

A lot of people don’t want to buy TC now that Purina is milling it. ProElite offers an alternative; it’s a similar feed and would be an easy transition for someone. But ProElite has some things TC doesn’t, and they’re not “the same”
How do you know what Pro Elite has ? Can you point me at a list of ingredients ?
Once again…

If that’s not enough for you, why don’t you email them? They reply promptly.

Oh, I see. You just want to complain that all the information isn’t available with a single click rather than sending a quick email to get it.
Carry on then. :lol: :lol: :lol:
If they want people to buy their feed, and serve it up to their horses, they should tell them what is in the bag. It should at least be on the label, and available in their advertising material.

I feel like that (not unreasonable comment) is more fruitfully direct to SS the company and not to random people on an internet bulletin board

It is a constant problem with a few feed companies. You can only make an informed decision about your animal’s feed if the information is available. Those companies do not make it available, which is a problem for animals with allergies. It also leaves them free to change ingredients.
Nutrena (at the time) did not publish the info on its website but emailed it to me when I asked. I think if you’re really interested, you should email SS

Trust me, I get it. My horse is allergic to soy corn oats timothy and alfalfa… I care what is in commercial feed… but kvetching about this is better directed to the company if you really want to know or encourage them to change their policies

I was not kvetching about SS feeds. The problem was with somebody providing a link to something that was not there. I have absolutlely no interest in anything to do with Cargill.
It IS on the label. The bags have a bag tag, just like every other feed available. :rolleyes:
Sure, they rolled out a feed before all of their marketing collateral was produced. So? Go to the feed store and pull a bag tag. Ask your feed store if they have any handouts. Email the address that is in giant font on the page about it and you’ll get a response. I bet they’d even reply to you on their FB page. It is NOT THAT HARD.

See post above yours.
From a FB discussion I saw today on ProElite Senior:

Yep, stroll on into Southern States; they have a handout with the label info for every ProElite feed. Since you have to go there to buy it anyway, it’s not really difficult, and then someone with real knowledge of this and other available feeds can help you make the right choice for your horse.
Heck, you can even get an appointment for someone to come out to your farm and make recommendations based on your individual pasture and forage.
I bought new bags of TC Senior this weekend and the feed is much more oily than usual. Is this the winter formula that I’m seeing at last? (Now that it’s 60 degrees today, lol.) I was seriously considering switching to something else because it was such a pain to break up the bricks, so I hope they will be easier going forward.
