The game bird feed from Petrus is 26% but I cut it with cracked corn to bring the protein down a bit for the other animals.
$35.00/50lb bag ????!!!!!!!!!!! OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is WAY out of my pocket range. I would not be able to afford that with all of the animals that I have.
Yea, you're right. If I had to do it, I could. :/ I can remember my 6ft tall grandmother going out into her chicken yard and grabbing a chicken(s), ringing it's neck, plucking it and coming inside to cook it. I wish I could be like her. :/ It seemed so easy to her. We were the first ones at the table to eat when the food was cooked.
I know...it IS very costly, but it lasts me twice as long as the commercial feeds. I think it's because it's raw, whole food. Because it isn't cooked and processed, it retains all its nutrients. I could pay half as much but would feed twice the amount of pellets or crumbles, so my expense would be the same. This way I know that the eggs and meat my family are eating are not full of GMOs. The more I read, the more terrified I am of buying food that I haven't raised or grown.
What does it look like? Can you post a pic of the feed? How many animals do you have to feed?
I'll try to snap a pic when I get home. I have mine milled pretty fine, but they will grind as coarse as you request. Even a coarse grind will have fines in it though because they add kelp and fish meal. It took my birds a week or so to get used to it, but they don't waste anything now. Umm...I have about 35 adult LF, 3 juvenile LF, 9 bantams, 2 sebbies & a brooder full of chicks.
I can't really count the chicks though since they have their own food.We just processed a few boys, so I need to take into account their feed consumption, but I've been going through about 2.5 - 3 50lb bags per month. I have the feed in a gravity feeder so they eat as much as they want.
