So looking online for a better price on 50 LB bag of grit since no one carries it around here, and found this one. Just wanted to know what everyone thinks since its not granite.

That's perfect. It doesn't HAVE to be granite, it just needs to be some insoluble sharp stone.

I use the same stuff in #1, #2 and #3 sizes delivered with my feed.

What about pigeon grit, does anyone use that? I saw it had a lot of different stuff in it so wasn't sure.

Pigeon Grit works well, the Red grit w/ granite and or flint is best. (watch some have granite and or flint, some just have oyster shell as a grit)
