Mendocino County Horse and Equestrian Supply!

I've never had the land, time or money to own a horse, though I love their immense grace and power. As such, I haven't written much about Mendocino County Farm Supply's equestrian offerings on here for fear of being readily identified as a greenhorn. As the years go by, however, I have grown to become much more familiar with our horse feed and tack options thanks to the help of people like Denise, Sam and Darcie, our resident horse experts.

Horse Feed & Supplements


We carry the largest selection of feed in our county, with offerings from LMF, TDI, Nutrena, ASI and more. We also carry everything you need to create a fully balanced custom feeding routine for your horse, be it a retired mare, or a champion barrel racer. Our bi-annual events (Customer Appreciation Day, and Hay Day) often feature equestrian nutrition experts who can not only evaluate your horses health and body scoring, but can also advise you on maximizing your feed's results.

Need supplements? We've got em, and we know that everyone has very specific tastes. We carry every major brand of equine supplements, so you can get exactly what you want from the brands you trust. Fat supplements, glucosamine, micro-minerals, electrolytes and even colostrum from a number of respected brands.

More on the Livestock Swap!

Wow, has the Livestock Swap grown! The August livestock swap saw us grow to include used tack, and suddenly, the parking lot was full of horses, goats, chickens, pigs and more! We're so happy to see this new county resource grow, and excited to see all the connections being made as people compare breeds, discuss feeds and generally enjoy an informal atmosphere of buying selling and trading!

The next livestock swap falls on Saturday September 11th, and will once again welcome people to come in and trade and sell used and outgrown tack and saddlery.

Our October swap is occurring on the third Saturday, October 16th! (Don't worry, it will almost always be the second Saturday, but we're expecting a baby too close to the 9th)

The November livestock swap falls on November 13th and the December swap falls on the 11th.

Check out the FAQ on our website for more information on buying and selling.

See ya there!

More Pet Food Than You Can Wag a Tail At!

It always makes me smile when first time customers walk into our store, and exclaim, "Oh my! You have so much pet stuff!" It's true, we have one of the largest selections of pet food, treat and toys in Northern California. And since everybody here has their own menagerie, we've tried almost all of it! We also have a huge network of suppliers, distributors and manufacturers, so if we don't have it, we can almost always find it.

On a lark, last week we compiled a list of every type of dog and cat food we had in stock. This doesn't even include the immense range of small-mammal, reptile, fish and bird food we carry. For a complete up-to-date inventory, you can visit our online store, and even place an order for pickup in Ukiah.
