Feed Bag Supplies Livestock and Pet Feed and Accessories

The Feed Bag, your down-home country store, invites you to come in, have a cup of coffee, chat with your neighbors, and maybe play a game of dominoes when you pick up your livestock or pet supplies.  The Feed Bag is owned and operated by Todd and Michele Cash, livestock owners and lifetime residents of the lower Rio Grande Valley. 

Mr. Cash has been a pillar of the livestock show community.  For twenty one years he has volunteered at local livestock shows including Cameron County, Willacy County, and Rio Grande Valley livestock shows.  The past nine years he has been president of the Cameron County Fair & Livestock Show.

The warm, friendly atmosphere will allow you to find all of your livestock or pet needs.

The goal at the Feed Bag is to provide for their customer’s needs, always aiming to please. The Feed Bag’s customers are loyal because the feed quality and freshness is exceptional and Cash goes out of his way to please his customers. 

As more and more products are requested by its customers, The Feed Bag hopes to grow into a larger warehouse with a larger showroom.  They also plan to include services such as hoof-trimming, clipper blade sharpening, and seminars on livestock and pet health, showmanship and nutrition.

In deciding to open the Feed Bag, the Cashes talked with other livestock owners in the area and realized that they were not alone in their disappointment with local feed stores.

Although he had the idea and determination, Mr. Cash still need financing. 

Through the support and direction of The University of Texas - Pan American Small Business Development Center (SBDC), Mr. Cash was able to determine his start-up costs, monthly expenses, and sales projections for the new business.  The SBDC also introduced Mr. and Mrs. Cash to the SBA Business Loan Express (BLX).  As a result, Mr. Cash was able to raise enough working capital to meet his monthly obligations in addition to obtaining any other necessary assets.
