Our Story

 

 

Family owned & Operated

Since 1925

Dairyman’s Supply Company first opened its doors in 1925 as a feed & grain store.  Named for the dairy farmers it once served in the Mayfield area, Dairyman’s earned a reputation for honesty, reliability, and excellent customer service.

Five generations later, Dairyman’s Supply Company is no longer a small farm supply store.  Today, we are a national wholesaler supplying name brand building materials to retail lumber yards and building centers throughout the Southeast.

Our strong relationships with our customers span decades and are at the core of our long running success.  Our teams share the same vision, goals and passion for providing the very best in customer service.

Dairyman’s Supply Company:  Our People Make The Difference!

The History Of Our Commitment – 

Is a commitment to your success.

“A generation which ignores history has no past – and no future.”

Robert Heinlein

A Business is Started

Brothers-in-law Coy Cook and Curtis Boyd start a business to supply the growing dairy industry in Mayfield-Graves County, Kentucky.  As a result, Dairyman’s Feed & Supply Company was born.

The Great Depression

Following the “Great Depression” additional agricultural related products highlighted Dairyman’s product offerings.  Sales volume increased as did the geographical footprint of the company.

Post World War II

Post World War II growth was significant.  The name changed from Dairyman’s Feed & Supply to Dairyman’s Supply Company.  Residential roofing, nails, metal roofing and siding, are now staple items as Dairyman’s is now serving customers in Tennessee and Missouri in addtion to Kentucky.  More warehouse space is added as customer demand continues to increase.

Firmly Established

Now firmly established as a leader in the “two-step” distribution space, Dairymans’s once again increases its warehouse square footage and further expands product offerings.  Ceiling tile, flooring and insulation are providing the company increased sales revenue.

Third Generation

The third generation of family is now actively involved in the business and the growth continues.  Dairyman’s is now selling to customers in five states and adds additional 40,000 square feet of warehouse space to the downtown Mayfield facility.

Fifty Three Years Forward

After 53 years at our current location, Dairyman’s Supply Company acquires 40 acres of property (including 200,000 square feet of warehouse space) on the south side of Mayfield.  Roofing, siding, insulation and steel products are now driving increased sales volume.

Gadsden, Alabama

Dairyman’s opens a second location in Gadsden, Alabama.  The company now distributes products to customers in nine states and adds forest products to the inventory in both locations.

Significant Growth

Significant growth in both Mayfield and Gadsden push annual sales above $100 million for the first time in company history.

Shed/Portable Buildings

Dairyman’s enters the Shed/Portable Building components business.  The purchase of a “precision cut saw” now gives Dairyman’s the ability to provide specialty cut-to-length framing components to the manufacturers within the Shed/Portbable building industry.  Flooring, siding and sheathing were added to the inventory as Dairyman’s becomes a full service distributor for the industry.

Gadsden Improvements

Dairyman’s purchases new warehouse facilities in Gadsden along with building a new office facility.  Gadsden facility now has 210,000 square feet of enclosed storage space.

Mayfield Improvements

A new office building was built at the Mayfield location as strong growth continues.  Annual sales surpassed $250 million.

Additional Property

Dairyman’s purchases 30 acres of property in Graves Co., which includes an additional 100,000 square feet of enclosed storage.

Strong Commitment Continues

Dairyman’s Supply Company now utilizes a combined 500,000 square feet of dry, enclosed warehouse space at its Mayfield, KY and Gadsden, AL locations.  Add the additional inventory within our reload network (Shelby, MT / Dallas, TX / Lakeview, MN / Memphis, TN / Glendale, AZ) and it is clearly evident that our commitment to maintaining large inventories and top shelf service has never been stronger.
