What are y'all using and how much are y'all paying? Looking for something to feed in trough feeders.
sent you a pm.
Curtis. Left you a pm on whats good and also lower quality. Most important thing if buying feed is ask for a current lab test and one from a year ago.Dont accept a homemade formulation sheet from company. Also review whats being put in for protein levels any types.(Flame roasted grains are your best source)And ask what the TDN levels are. Do not use anything with peanut skins and hulls or lots of rice mill in the mix.Look at using a quality total feed vs a supplemental type.Quality has really dropped off the past two years with alot of companies due to higher grain prices.Pm if you have any nutrition questions.
I see that you make a Deer Feed also. How much is a Bag of your Deer Feed at todays Grain markets?
Guys when your looking for feeds wheather its for deer or dogs,Take time and look for quality first over cheapest price.At $10 for a 50 lb bag your not going to get good quality.When you buy lesser quality or cheap stuff your only short changing your animals and yourself as it will cost you more by feeding a less than quality feed and end up using more of it and not getting the correct high levels of digestable nutrition and energy with a quality product..With a top quality and good nutrition level program you will get results faster and be able to feed less vs a cheap price feed where you will be spending more money and getting lesser results. Simple math. Ask the feed dealer about their nutrition background on what your trying to feed. Its crazy when you hear a sales guy preach we have the best product available ( re feeds)and when you come back with a lab test showing way different facts its hard for them ti tell you a honest answer. Bottom line is if you have a great product and are not changing formulation every few months to save money they should not have any problem with you testing their product. Those two words Lab Test will shake up alot of feed guys that change stuff alot.Going the cheap route today will cost you more over the season.Just do your homework and hope this helps out some.
