Chillicothe, TX 79225
(940) 852-5361
I will say this is would not surprise me at all if the first one is not closed and has been closed fro a while
It would also not surprise me is one or more of them did not gin this year
Cotton Gins can come and go pretty quick and some years some just do not gin at all and then the next year gin like gang busters
If they have it and will sell it to you it will be in bulk and you better be ready to load yourself though one or more of them might be able to load for you
I am pretty sure that FARMERS COOP in Eldorado, OK ginned this year, but you have to go to Oklahoma for that and well you know...
18587 OK-6, Eldorado, OK 73537

or there is
Paducah Gin
323 9th St, Paducah, TX 79248

One last one.....in Munday and facebook says they are already open this Toesday
5030 CR 6009 (324.56 mi)
Munday, Texas 76371
(940) 422-4207
Or if you are really desperate and want to pay probably more this place just east of Altus had a few unit trains worth on the ground right now they sell it to California for dairy feed....I doubt they would sell to you though, but who knows buying and selling stuff is what they do

The Macy Ledbetter version:
"Fourth, and certainly most important, cottonseed creates a condition called gossypol toxicity. Gossypol is a chemical found in the seed that will actually render all male animals sterile. Yes, sterile, as in no babies made that year. However, the gossypol will leave the animal’s system once it stops eating the cottonseed, and fertility will return. So, ranches that feed cottonseed MUST remove the feed, or stop feeding it, as the bucks remove the velvet from their antlers. This timing gives the gossypol time to pass through the buck’s system and leave before he begins producing live sperm. Remember: the only time a buck produces live sperm is while he is in hard antler. I have seen several ranches that either didn’t believe it or forgot to stop feeding cottonseed before hard antler and they actually had zero fawns produced that entire year. Talk about hard on a deer management program."

IMO Your correct the information is obsolete, and so we feed cotton seed
Year round , and find our herds are consistent in weight and horn growth, Birth rates and early fawn growth. I personally think cotton seed is much superior then average protein feed. That being said I keep it in the pasture and never ever let run out
Y’all bust a monster this year

Double Down feed is some of the best protein out there! Buck stop in Hico is one of the best locations to pick up this feed. Cotton seed base and our deer love it in Paducah. We have seen some major growth this summer. Lott’s True Value in Childress is also a great location to get a variety of feed. He now sells straight soybean bags. We mix this with corn on our own and get a better quality mix for our deer. By deer season we will got to mostly soybean and corn mix. Deer will tear it up!
If you hunt near Paducah and need information related to deer feed, lodging or other hunting related information follow us on Facebook at Paducah Hunters. I’m from there and hunt there. Also hope to soon open Buck Springs Lodge in Paducah.
