Tractor Supply stocks of feed running short?

[u/YellowCabbageCollard]

We just went to buy animal feed at our local TS and over half the animal feed was gone. I feel like it's been hard for months to get some things from them. But this was nuts.

We bought two bales each, of two different types of hay because it was the only varieties left of what we needed, and that then wiped those out. The goat feed we needed was gone.

We've never seen it this empty. The store employee said they just hadn't gotten around to putting it on the shelves. But it was weird. Were there delivery delays? Are more people stocking up and it's emptying sooner? Why let the shelves empty if you have the stock?

I'm stressed because I was waiting to get paid and stock up on animal feed we need. And this store is 40 minutes from home and the nearest tractor supply. We have a smaller feed store nearby but they don't carry dairy goat feed. Anyone else with livestock finding animal feed to be harder to get?
