RE: [CHICKENS-101] All purpose feed? does it exist

 

            I agree, biggest is NOT always bestest. ;-)

            I buy feed from our local co-op and they buy their grain from local farms……..nothing from CHINA

            The nice thing is that if you want a special formulation, like Alpaca pellets, for instance, you can have them make it.  Of course, there is a minimum amount required and I think it is a ton, but if you have other farms go in with you, not a biggy. 

 

            I quit Purina a while back………too big, too impersonal and they have become the monopoly at TSC.  That really pissed me off!

Any outfit which produces feed is likely to occasionally release some
bad feed. Since Purina makes so much feed, they have probably produced
more bad feed than anybody else (but probably the same as a percentage
of total production).

I for one do not like to do business with the largest companies simply
because they are usually run by accountants, who mitigate risks based on
probabilities and law suit awards rather than simply trying to produce
the best product possible (i.e. Toyota and their recent issues).
