    Something wrong with eggs

    Wow, I like their stuff. I'm going to have to see if I can get one of my feed stores to stock them. If they'd let me order a half-pallet a month, I could save a ton of time from mixing my own feed, probably some money too. Wow, even their catfish food is good. Please tell me your sales rep...
