This might be a dumb question, but I figured I'd ask here before I go straight to Purina!
The Flock Raiser in my area is up to $17.99 per 50# bag. My birds go through a bag of it a week (along with a $12 bag of scratch). Well, I work at a farm animal sanctuary where we have lots of poultry who go through one 50# bag of Flock Raiser a DAY, so I've been talking to my co-workers about potentially buying large amounts (say, one ton) of Flock Raiser at a time in order for both myself and the sanctuary to save some money.
Anyone know how I would go about doing this? Would it likely save us a decent amount? I'd love to see if anyone else does this, and if so, how you go about ordering it. It would be really nice to be able to order forty bags at a time or something and get a good discount if that's possible. I'm not sure how to go about this, aside from contacting Purina themselves. I plan on doing that, but just wanted to see what other BYC people do as well.
