M.A.M.A. Ranch Newsletter

December 31, 2018

Daisy and the other bovines are enjoying the new arrival, Violet. If you haven't made it out to visit her, she's growing into her long legs and still is as cute as a button.

This is feed ordering week. As the weather is cold now, your fowl may enjoy some scratch for treats and to keep warm. Any birds that are molting now may be eating some extra feed for energy and nutrients to regrow feathers.

If you'd love to purchase some non GMO and soy free feed for your livestock you may order in the following ways: text or email by this Wednesday at midnight. 314-578-1351 or mama.ranch@gmail.com Your first order must be prepaid, all subsequent orders may be paid at pick up.

Feed pick up will be the following week, January 9th. Delivery usually happens on Wednesday afternoon. Those that order will get a notification that the feed has been delivered. Remember, if you pick up your feed within 24 hours of delivery at the Ranch, you will receive a dollar off per bag! Cash, checks, and credit cards are accepted.
