You can find the bagging date in our lot number down the side of our bag tags. The number starts with a P followed by the year, month and day. Example: P20230217-00765 was bagged on February 17th of 2023. We recommend feed be sold by our dealers within 3 months of bagging and fed out within 6 months. Some feeds with higher levels of molasses may spoil sooner.
