High Country Plastics

What High Country Plastics does

High Country Plastics is a privately held US manufacturer of durable plastic products serving the agricultural and equestrian markets. Founded in 1991 and headquartered in Caldwell, Idaho, the company employs between 11 and 50 people and operates under founder and CEO Tony Stevenson. Its product portfolio spans more than a dozen collections centered on livestock feeding and watering (Slow Feeder Saver, Bunk Feeders, BMF-250 Bull Mineral Feeder, Hay Play, Water Tanks, Water Caddies), complemented by barn accessories (Dura Carts, Saddle & Blanket Racks, Barn Accessories & Organizers), trailer accessories, and maintenance/farrier tools. The core technology is a heavy-duty, impact-resistant poly construction with UV protection, marketed as a never-rust material with a 3-year warranty. The flagship Slow Feeder Saver is engineered to address equine behavioral issues (boredom, cribbing, destructive behavior, poor temperament) through natural grazing simulation.

The company's business model is built on indirect sales: products are not sold directly to end consumers but instead routed through a network of local resellers/dealers and online partners, with a dealer locator and a 'Become a dealer' recruitment channel published on the company website. Pricing is quote-based at the dealer level and is not publicly disclosed. End customers are primarily individual horse owners, livestock and cattle farmers, and barn operators seeking durable, rust-resistant outdoor equipment. Marketing is modest, centered on the company website, a downloadable PDF product catalog (most recently refreshed for 2025), and a newsletter signup. Ownership structure, financials, and institutional backing are not disclosed in available source material.
