About Us

Hometown Animal Health

Serving Northeast Missouri, Southern Iowa, and Western Illinois Since 2006

Hometown Animal Health began in Memphis, Missouri, in 2006 with the Musser family. In October 2020, our family bought the business, left Pennsylvania, and moved to Scotland County to run it ourselves.

We are not running this store from afar. We live and work here, and we support this community. Our own animals eat the feed we sell, use the chutes we stock, and stay behind the fences we carry.

What We Believe

how we do business: honesty, integrity, and service

These are not just words on a wall. They guide every aspect of our business. If a customer asks if the cheaper bag is the better choice, we give an honest answer, even if it means losing a sale. If a fence energizer fails, we take care of it. If we do not carry what you need, we will tell you and suggest where to find it.

We are grateful for the chance to serve the people of this area, to meet real needs, and to provide good jobs close to home.

About The People Behind the Counter

Walk in, and someone will be ready to answer your questions

Our team has about 20 to 25 years of combined experience, with backgrounds in dairy, poultry, beef, and swine. Most of us have animals ourselves. We use the products we sell, so when you ask how something works, you get an answer from someone who has actually used it, not just read the label.

We also conduct product training throughout the year and maintain close relationships with our vendors and their reps. If a question runs past what we know, we have backup. Our NEMO Feed rep will come out to a farm and help us work through a problem. That backup goes all the way to the manufacturer.

What we offer that big box stores do not:

Educational meetings

We invite vets and vendor reps throughout the year to talk with producers about cattle vaccines and other products. We send invitations by email, phone, and mail.

Drive-through loading area

We built this so you do not have to lift your own feed. We have the equipment to load your order and get you back on the road quickly.

Support after the sale

We provide instructions, documentation, troubleshooting, and warranty repairs. If a fence energizer fails, we send it back, get it fixed, and support you through the process.

Special orders

If we do not have what you need but can get it, we will order it. Depending on the vendor, it may take two days or up to a month, and we will let you know the timing before you leave.

Volume pricing

We negotiate and set up pricing structures tailored for our customers ordering at high volumes.

Do people really drive two hours to get here?

Yes! Most of our customers are within a 30-minute drive, but many come from farther away. We often see people from southern Iowa and western Illinois, and sometimes even from Kansas.

Customers tell us two main things:

We Carry a Wide Selection of Products

We look for new products and stock brands you will not find at chain stores. Those who travel say stores in their area do not carry much anymore.

There is Always Someone at the Counter

At the heart of it all, it is about relationships. We get to know your operation and your goals. Then we help you find the right product to get the job done. That is different from just making a sale.

We Serve Livestock Producers, Hobby Farmers, Dog Owners, and More

Cattle make up the biggest part of our business, followed by sheep and goats, then backyard chickens. Whether you have 200 head or just four goats behind the house, you get the same service and the same honest answers.
