We have tried it due to a TSC right down the road. We did have problems with a few bags being moldy right after it was purchased, but that could have just been how it was stored, etc. The cattle ate it just fine, but we found that Purina Show Chow had better value as far as price per size of the bag.

I had the same mold problems.  Wouldn't use it during warm months again.  I switched to Purina feed and had better results I thought.

Idk about that I switched from Purina Honor Show Chow to the Arrow Bull and Heifer Developer and I have seen improvement. Plus it is cheaper.

I don't care much for the feed from TSC because of the freshness issue.  I think they order massive quantities, and if you're unlucky enough to get the end of the order, the feed is moldy or spoiled.

I think you can do better at a local feed store that perhaps keeps a smaller supply, or orders when needed.
