Here are some poultry terms you'll want to know: Most people know that baby chickens are called chicks, but did you know that female chicks are called pullets
and male chicks are called cockerels? A pullet becomes a hen only after she has produced her first egg. A mature
cockerel is a rooster. Baby ducks are ducklings, baby geese are goslings, and baby
turkeys are poults.
Call them what you want, watching them will bring a smile, guaranteed!

Horses: Let Them Eat Hay

There was a time when many feeds were medicated
for this or that. Despite all the promises, a few people doubted the "better life through chemistry" approach.
Today, our customers tend to look for better nutrition and fewer medications. We feature Purina, Nutri-Lux
and Equi-Lux feeds to meet the needs of animals raised here in the Willamette Valley.
Call for information, 503-831-1222.

Hay. We've Got It. Remember when finding good quality hay for your livestock was the least of your worries? Not any more.
We stock local grass hay in 55-60lb bales. This provides good, low-protein fibre for most horses and other
livestock. Need higher protein? We have 75-80lb bales of alfalfa or orchard grass from Central Oregon.
We also stock Certified Weed-Free compressed bales of alfalfa or timothy grass from Southern Idaho. These 55-60lb
bales are small enough to fit in your trunk, yet offer high-quality forage.
Whatever your hay needs, we'll do
our best to have what you need, when you need it.
