Our History |
In the late 1960's and early 1970's Tommy Challacombe was working in Garden City, Kansas, teaching vocational agriculture. Living in Garden City, he was surrounded by large feed mills. Several years later, returning to Frederick, where no feed mills were to be found, he saw the need for a feed mill to service the livestock industry in Tillman County. Way back when, the only choice for feed in Southwest Oklahoma was bag feed. Tommy knew that the farmers and ranchers of Tillman County needed somewhere to purchase bulk feed. He traveled to over twenty feed mills across Oklahoma and Kansas to get an idea of what he was getting into and how the mills operated. In 1980 between Tillman, Kiowa, and Jackson counties, there were numerous beef operations and eleven small dairies. Local ranchers and dairies had no where to buy bulk feed until Stockman's Milling came to be. In 2023, operations were passed onto the next generation of Challacombes. The family tradition of quality and service still continues as we grow and develop new relationships.
