Anyone Ordered from KMS Lately?

My recent batch is also 10/15/20, a bit greener than the last, and the pigs love it. I have not been smelling them, so cannot comment on any difference.
To the best of my memory, the pellets have always varied a little in size, shape, and color, even back in the old days of Kleenmama.

Placed a KMS order a couple of weeks ago and realized the other day that they hadn't sent me an order confirmation or shipping notification. When I went back on their site, I noticed the following message at the top of the site:
TIMOTHY CHOICE PELLETS ON CURRENTLY ON BACK ORDER. ORDERS WILL BE HELD UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED. EXPECTED DELIVERY IS WEEK OF MARCH 29TH.
I hadn't noticed that before, and had emailed Dan who wrote back yesterday to say, "There is a national shortage for the ingredients we use. It is impacting many mills nationally."
Wish I had known that sooner. I wouldn't have waited until I was down to crumbs. :(

I worried about shortages like this all during the pandemic and the fires out west. Sometimes I have several bags of hay, and several months of pellets and vitamin C. There is dog food in the freezer, and I get the dog meds filled in advance so I have some wiggle room. Just scares the heck out of me that I wouldn't be able to get food or meds for my pets. I'll probably be eating ramen noodles or canned beans, but the pets will be okay!

Same here, Itsazoo. I usually keep things fairly well stocked, so this was my bad.
Just got an email that the KMS pellets have shipped---whew. Hopefully they will arrive soon. I have been mixing the last of the KMS with Oxbow, which works but isn't ideal as one of our boys doesn't like them.
