what do you pay for oats?

[picklespickles]

here, i can get a fifty pound bag of people oats for about twenty seven dollars. with the gas prices, the price went up to that. i just give my animlas my leftovers or what spills or a hanful as a treat. (yes, i do eat a lot of oatmeal)

can you buy animal grade oats for cheaper? people around here act like im nuts when i ask.

but maybe i just havnen't found the right place to ask.

At the local feedstore you can buy whole or crimped oats. Normally they are under 15.00 per 50 lbs, but they are not the same as you would make oat meal ( ie rolled oats) out of.

Do you have a Tractor supply or Agway near you?

It may help in the find.

we don't have those chain stores near me. a lot of mom and pop.

I pay $6.85 for a 50 lb bag of whole high grade oats.
I think the price of feedstuffs depends alot on where you live.

A bushel of Oats is about 30lbs converted from tonne the current price is $2.04 per bushel. The person selling for 27.00 dollars for 50lbs is gouging.

that's people oats for twenty seven dollars. i think it's price gouging, too, but it's not unusual.
