PeskyWabbits 464 Posted December 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Rabid what sort of places do you buy it loose from or in bulk. Thanks I'm in west yorkshire Mark, there is Keith Drake at Honley https://www.yell.com/biz/keith-drake-ltd-holmfirth-996667/ My six pigs went through 76 bags. Which is about 2 tonnes. I haven't approached them yet for bulk buying. Another option is to club together with other small holders to get a better price. I am now pigless. The last one went on Wednesday.

comanche 2,989 Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) £8 or £9 sounds expensive. We were paying not much more than £6 a bag from the local farm supplier and the horse feed shop used by the girls at the stables was pretty much the same even though they ordered it in specially for us. And we were only buying a bag or two at a time Edited December 8, 2016 by comanche Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark r 208 Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 What does this look like for feed protein levels etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeskyWabbits 464 Posted December 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 What does this look like for feed protein levels etc That is the other thing. My 76 bags weren't all the same stuff. Sow & Weaner, Turbo, Super, Finisher. They all have (slightly) different protein levels. I think S&W is 16%, then 19%, 22% then down to 15% for finisher. But it varies per brand I think I would put up with a level protein amount if I could reduce the cost significantly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
