Wonder why?

[jnyork]

I wonder why I can no longer find any neastfoot oil? Not at walmart, not at Target, not at Lowes, not at Home Depot, not at the PX, not at Midway, not at my local mom & pop sporting good store (they never heard of it! ) Did the EPA outlaw it or something?

Neat died several years ago, and they haven't found anyone else with the foot condition...

Google it.....there was a bunch of it for sale on the Net........

[jnyork]

Thanks, Blaine, I dont need it bad enough to pay $12.00 shipping for a $4.00 bottle.

I'm betting a good tack shop would have it.....But, I'll bet no one in WY has horses anymore

Check at your local livestock supply/feed store . The one that the farmers and ranchers use , not the pet store .

Not so. We are over-run now with imports from the Left Coast including Kali, Western Oregon and coastal Washington, fine liberals all. They buy up 5-10 acre parcels, build a 4000-5000 square foot log house they call a "cabin", then start collecting horses. They dont ride 'em or anything, they just HAVE 'em. Wish they would just stay home.

Ouch! Not all of us

rawlings makes oil for baseball gloves. i think its pretty much the same as neatsfoot. wonder if kids today oil their gloves?

[Blaine]

Personally, I value this product above all others....a good rep with loggers and bikers.

I use Obenauf's for my White's and Nick's boots. Nice smell too.

Check the tac shops, COOP, etc.

If you're still in AZ might want to stay there for a while yet, we're still gettin winter, and more of it forecast for the next week off and on.

Same problem hereabouts. I couldn't find it, even in tack stores, so I bought saddle oil. Next thing I saw it in a small hardware store amongst wood finishes - teak oil etc.

I read somewhere that neatsfoot oil is made from feet and shin bones of cattle, hence foot, and that neat was once a name applied to certain cows.

Just like Jello (I kid thee not)

No worries, I have been watching the roadcams and Weather.com, no chance of me leaving Sunny Arizona for at least two more weeks.

Go to the nearest Agway,Central Tractor etc. and buy
some lexol Will cost about $5

Just as good if not better !!!

JN most of the state is under a winter weather advisory that basically says 6-10 inches of snow and a couple of feet in the mtns.
Longrange looks like its coming every couple or 3 days for the next week anwyway.
Stay warm and dry down there

A local shoe repair store carries it. You may also look at a luggage repair shop for the oil.

How much oil do you get from squeezing a Mink?

I've tried to get Cat Oil to use in place of Mink Oil, but all I get are scratches...

Here's some on Amazon:
