Frequently Asked Questions

  • What's the best horse feed for Clyde's hot, dry climate?

    Performance and maintenance horse feeds with balanced nutrition help support consistent hydration and energy during Clyde's dry spells and heat. At Done Right Feed Store, we recommend feeds tailored to your horse's workload, age, and condition, with guidance from our experienced staff familiar with local equine needs.
  • How often should cattle be fed protein cubes in drought conditions?

    During drought cycles, cattle typically need protein cubes daily or several times per week to maintain herd condition when pasture quality declines. At Done Right Feed Store, we help Clyde ranchers adjust feeding schedules based on weather patterns and herd size to support year-round nutrition.
  • What do backyard chickens need during chick season?

    Chicks require starter crumbles, heat lamps, feeders, waterers, and clean bedding to thrive in their first weeks. At Done Right Feed Store in Clyde, we stock seasonal chick supplies and can help you build a complete poultry setup, noting local predator pressures and climate considerations.
  • Can I use multi-species feed for a mixed hobby farm?

    Yes, multi-species feed is formulated to meet the basic nutritional needs of farms with horses, goats, chickens, and other animals. At Done Right Feed Store, we guide Clyde hobby farmers on balancing varied animal nutrition efficiently, especially given local climate patterns affecting feeding frequency.
  • What affects the cost of buying feed in bulk?

    Bulk purchases reduce per-bag cost, and volume discounts like our pallet deal—buy 40 bags, save $40—offer significant savings. At Done Right Feed Store, we stock fresh inventory and offer a drive-through warehouse for easy loading, making bulk buying convenient for Clyde-area farms and ranches.
  • When should I start supplemental deer feeding in Clyde?

    Supplemental deer feeding typically starts in late summer before hunting season and continues year-round for wildlife management on larger properties. At Done Right Feed Store, we advise Clyde landowners on seasonal feeding patterns, protein pellets, and attractant strategies suited to local brush corridors and land layouts.
  • What's the difference between calf starter and grower feeds?

    Calf starter feeds are higher in protein and designed for young calves transitioning from milk, while grower feeds support steady weight gain in older calves. At Done Right Feed Store, our team helps Clyde cattle operations choose the right blend based on herd stage and nutritional goals.
  • How do I prepare show goats for 4H competitions?

    Show goats need balanced, high-quality feed formulated for growth and condition, plus consistent mineral support and grooming routines. At Done Right Feed Store, we work with Clyde and Abilene 4H/FFA families to recommend show feed blends and prep supplies tailored to local competition standards.
  • Does baled hay quality matter for horses versus cattle?

    Yes—horses need clean, low-dust hay free of mold, while cattle can tolerate coarser varieties. At Done Right Feed Store in Clyde, we advise customers on hay type and feeding volume for horses, cattle, goats, and small livestock, especially during dry seasons and winter months.
  • What's the biggest mistake people make feeding backyard chickens?

    Many backyard chicken owners overfeed treats or table scraps, which dilutes essential nutrition from layer or broiler feeds. At Done Right Feed Store, we help Clyde homesteaders choose the right crumbles or pellets and maintain a balanced diet for healthy egg production and flock health.
  • Can I get feed loaded without leaving my vehicle?

    Yes, Done Right Feed Store offers a drive-through warehouse where staff load your vehicle with feed stocked in the store. This convenient service is available in Clyde for all livestock and pet feed purchases, making bulk pickup fast and easy for busy farmers and ranchers.
  • Why do goats need mineral support in West Texas?

    West Texas soils and forage often lack essential minerals like copper and selenium, which goats need for growth, reproduction, and immune health. At Done Right Feed Store, we recommend balanced feed blends and mineral supplements suited to Clyde's local climate and the nutritional demands of dairy, meat, and show goats.
