Chaffhaye Page 2

In about 1972-1977, the Queen of England had, and still has, many wonderful horses that she sent all
over the world. Before the development of CHAFFHAYE, she would buy local feed from the areas
where she sent her horses. On one trip to South America, her people bought some local feed and
stored it behind the feed that was being used. Sometime later, the locally purchased feed was given
to her horses and many of them became sick. After that episode, the Queen sent her horse
management personnel to Australia and New Zealand where they researched and developed a feed
made from alfalfa that was able to be stored in double plastic bags. The feed that she had developed
was patented under the name CHAFFHAYE.

In 1995 the Queens patent on the CHAFFHAYE process expired, so developers from New Zealand
came to the United States to set up a factory to produce this unique feed. After looking over most of
the U. S. Southwest for an ideal location, a facility was built in Dell City, Texas. The Dell City facility was
purchased by Mr. Layton who then began producing this exceptional feed under the patent-pending
name CHAFFHAYE..

For the first 4 years of production, the total CHAFFHAYE plant output was purchased by one dealer
and moved to Colorado. This is the main reason that CHAFFHAYE was not yet well-known nationally.
Then, in the mid-1990s, Cimarron Agricultural, Ltd. purchased the Dell City facility and surrounding
farms. Production was tripled and the decision was made to begin nation-wide distribution.
