Mill News > Bluebonnet® Feeds, LP Celebrates 25
Years of Service
7/2007
Ardmore’s Bluebonnet® Feeds, LP, known for its
innovative high quality animal feeds, will celebrate
25 years of service July 23, 2007. With mills in
Ardmore, OK and Brownwood, TX, Bluebonnet® Feed
serves feed dealers and national distributors in
over a ten state area and exports products
internationally as well. The company produces feed
for most every animal from livestock
to pets and
employs a total of 80 workers.
Ardmore was selected for its central distribution
point and the quality of the local workforce when
Mark, Jerome & Bruce Urbanosky established
Bluebonnet® Feeds in 1982. The 1982 purchase of the
former Comet Feed Mill, with its large size and
capacity, allowed Bluebonnet® Feeds to grow and
develop new markets. In its 25-year history
Bluebonnet® Feeds has sold over 1.5 million tons of
animal feed.
The Brownwood, TX mill specializes in extruded pet
and specialty feeds including the new eX-Factor™
horse products, a line of high quality advanced
technology extruded horse feeds. In response to a
growing demand the company recently introduced
several natural organic fertilizer products under
the “Bluebonnet® Farms” brand for customers who want
natural, safe, effective and environmentally
friendly lawn and garden products.
In recent times Bluebonnet® Feeds has implemented
several extensive equipment upgrades that will
better position it for future feed demands for
livestock and companion animals. New products are
continually being developed and upgraded to keep
Bluebonnet® at the forefront of quality.
Today the company is owned by an investment group
and is being operated as a limited partnership with
Co-Founder Mark Urbanosky remaining on the
management team in charge of Nutrition Services and
National Accounts. Other management team members
include Debbie Smith, Purchasing, Credit and
Customer Service Manager; Jay Stockton, Ardmore /
Brownwood Plant Manager and Bill Stuever, President
and General Manager.
