Kent’s Supply Center

Ira Heber Kent (I.H.) settled in Churchill County in 1876. Since that time, members of his family have been active in local business and community affairs. In the spring of 1892, Mr. Kent opened his mercantile business in Stillwater, which was the county seat for Churchill County. In 1906, Mr. Kent was the county treasurer when the seat was moved to Fallon. Not wanting to be far from his business, Mr. Kent put the store on skids drawn by horses and followed the county records to their new location.

The heavy mining and increased agricultural activity in the area helped Mr. Kent build his mercantile business into one of the largest in Nevada. He gave farmers credit for one year and at harvest time the store accepted the farmers’ crops – hay, turkeys, and other products – as payment. This year Kent’s Supply Center, Inc., formerly known as the I.H. Kent Company, celebrates 125 years of business.

Kent’s Supply Center, Inc. continues to be a family owned and operated business. Today Karla Kent operates the business with the same philosophy as her dad Thomas, his dad Ira L., and his dad Ira H: deep roots in the community, commitment to our neighbors and being fair to our customers.

The vision for Kent’s Supply Center is to continue our deep rooted traditions of serving our customers as neighbors with the highest level of service and quality products at a competitive price, as well as adapting to the times by utilizing technology suited for our industry.

The entire Kent’s Team would like to thank all our customers for the support and friendship shown to Kent’s Supply Center over the years. We look forward to serving our current and new customers into the future with the highest level of service and trust.

MD Barnmaster Nevada

Custom Barns and Buildings in Northern Nevada

From single-stall shedrow to the most extensive boarding facilities, our pre-engineered modular design technology allows you the flexibility to design and build any barn or building you can dream of—unlimited architectural style options, including three standard rooflines.

MD Barnmaster Northern Nevada, America’s #1 barn, and the original pioneer of pre-engineered modular barn building technology, provides custom-designed barns, equestrian facilities, and modular buildings for the everyday and professional equestrian.

Horse people are in it for life. It’s more than a hobby, it’s the passion that drives us, fed by having our horses just outside our windows, watching them graze, gallop, scratch each other and enjoy a good roll in the dirt. We pass that love along to future generations, and to our friends and neighbors. This is not a passing fancy… this is our life, that’s the MD Barnmaster Difference. They say that imitation is the ultimate form of flattery but we think it is a lack of experience and vision. Many of our direct competitors have been doing just that; copying what we do. As the leading manufacturer in the modular barn for the past 40+ years you can rest assured we have led the way on safety, quality and innovation. Why would you purchase from anyone else?

Why MD Barnmaster of Northern Nevada? It pays to build a barn not just for what it will look like and do for you today, but in the decades to come. A plain wood barn is sometimes less expensive in the original price, but when you consider maintenance, aging appearance, structural integrity, and resale, MD Barnmaster is a far better value… and that’s before you consider the effect your barn building decision will have on your horses’ health and safety.
