Bulk layer feed

Where is a good place to buy bulk later feed that’s not extremely expensive? I’m in the Baton Rouge, LA area and can’t find too many feed stores. Maybe I’m not looking hard enough?

Are you looking for pallets of bagged feed or bulk feed trucked in to be dumped in your bulk feed bin?
I'm sure there is a mill around you.
One of these may be able to steer you in the right direction.

There are two definitions of Bulk in the feed industry. In the commercial feed business Bulk is feed not packaged in a bag and delivered by a truck and placed into a bin of some sort. The other definition of Bulk is used by retailers to indicate large orders of bagged product or feed delivered in Totes weighing 2,000 pounds.

Everyone that buys from Costco or similar type stores loves the concept of buying in bulk. But unless you are raising commercial quantities of birds your not likely to be able to use even a 2,000 pound tote of feed before it goes bad or badly degrades in quality. Once grain is ground up, you want to use it soon as fresh as possible as it no longer has the protective husks keeping in the nutrients.

If you are going to raise that many birds, then instead of looking for a feed store, you would want to find your closest feed mill. My local feed mill sells Metzer Farms 17 to 20 tons of feed per week!
