Mike Gilbert:
In January I kinda went into \"sticker shock\" when the local co-op charged me $16.25 for a 50# bag of chick starter.  I just found basically the same feed (20%, medicated) at another place for $12.85, so I guess it pays to shop.   I have my breeder feed custom mixed at the same place.   I\'m paying $10.19 for a 50# bag (got 675 lbs) that works out to about 19.75% protein.  It\'s basically corn, layer concentrate, alfalfa meal, and fish meal.    How does that compare to what others are paying?

John:
I just bought feed last week.  It was a ton of Kalmbach Game Bird Breeder mini pellets and 1/2 ton of 20% non-medicated startergrower for a total of $739.47 or $12.32/bag average.  I don\'t have the break down of which cost the most, just the total that includes a volume discount plus 6% sales tax for the state.  I was happy with the price after paying much more per bag for a few bags of starter at TSC and seeing their other prices on feed.

dixieland:
We are paying $10.50 per 50# bag of the 22% gamebird breeder formula we use, $8.95 per #50 bag of 5 grain scratch w/ kelp granules in it and $11.00 per #50 bag of non medicated chick starter....

Wow, those are great prices compared to any in this area.

One of the few small benefits of living in a small town and being married to a man who is related to everyone is getting all of our animal feed delivered and at cost.
 :D

However. I would have traded that benefit for high speed Internet, which only came here a year ago!!! Really, I thought everywhere in the free world had reliable highspeed service....It is a novelty here, not a neccesity.... (Oops, the Jersey girl in me is trying to come out....Better go to bed!)
