Yes. They are great folks and make fantastic feed. It doesn't make sense for me to buy less than a ton though... Shipping is way too expensive for me. If I'm willing to wait a bit, best price for a pallet is about $190 using Old Dominion space available shipping. I can probably shave another $50 or so off, if I pickup at their depot in the town where I work rather than having it delivered to my co-op. Their depot is literally around the corner from where I work. Last spring, I was hired to do a small business seminar in NJ, so I ordered 10 bags of starter and some broiler and picked it up on my way home.

This year (sometime in the next 26 days) I need to go to Kentucky and see what the Amish have, as a backup there's an organic feed supplier near the Amish folks who have a feed I like, but it's really expensive.

ETA: BTW, did I mention that I'm a feed snob?

This is how ALL feed labels should look (the breakdown of everything)

Anyone want to help me email all feed companies listed in post one to see if they will give us this type of breakdown for all their feeds?

I'm willing, if others join and I don't have to take half! But I'm wondering how useful it will be, if the specific ingredients change frequently depending on season and cost specifics? Or is that why they give min and max, so that they can mess with ingredients and still have the same analysis?
