Hay continues to be in short supply as more farmers replace hay fields with cotton, peanuts, soybeans, corn or other vegetables and take advantage of prices that have risen in recent years as a result of production problems around the world. Furthermore, climatic conditions have limited the number of hay cuts during the season in dry areas, while rain has destroyed or limited production in other regions. In times like these, processed drilling and pellets offer an ideal alternative to hay, providing better value that is reliable in quality AND availability.

Because you love your horses and want to give them the best in drilling and bedding, Stampede Premium now offers a full line of equine products. Stampede Premium Processed Forages and Bedding include a wide selection of products specially formulated to provide maximum nutrition and comfort for your horses.

Stampede Premium processed feed and pellets are consistent. They offer guaranteed ingredient analysis and give you the confidence that your animals are receiving excellent nutrition with quality feed every day. Plus, Stampede Processed Drilling Products are easy to digest and produce less waste.

The Stampede Premium buckets in the Pro-Pak offer 25 percent more product for your money than the leading competition.

Stampede Premium Power Selections Include:

• Alfalfa Cubes, Timothy Alfalfa Cubes, Mini Alfalfa Cubes, and Orchard Mini Alfalfa Cubes – the ultimate hay cubes. They are harvested to the fullest and are cured in the sun naturally to provide maximum palatability in all seasons. In addition, they are easy to store.

• Alfalfa Pellets and Timothy Grass Pellets – An ideal alternative to hay when availability is low. Pellets are also a great option for caregivers looking for the convenience of a processed piercing in a smaller shape. Please note that Stampede pellet products are also suitable for other small farm animals.

In addition to the Stampede food line, Stampede offers a full line of bedding products. Stampede bedding is made from eco-friendly, 100% kiln-dried pine shavings in a variety of ways:

• EZ Clean – Double screen for consistent size and quality to reduce dust and make barn cleaning easier.

• Kurlz – Medium-sized chips and flakes enhance stable presentation while providing maximum comfort for your horses and minimizing stable cleaning.

• Mix: small and medium flakes combined with sawdust for better absorption. It is one of our most practical and effective bedding products.

• Pine wood pellets: a unique alternative to traditional chip products. Pellets offer a drier, longer-lasting bedding option that has become increasingly popular for a variety of bedding uses and can also be used as a natural fuel for grills and smokers.

The Stampede line has grown into a nationally respected brand offering animal owners unmatched consistency and quality at great prices, especially during lean seasons and times when other products are not readily available.
