what brand of feeding do you use???

 

usually bucktons hp

last yr another un branded hp

then add peas,wheat,barley, or all three depending on time of yr

or races i want them for (the straights are from the farm).

last yr local farmer sold 90% of his maples to versa-laga.

i suppose they polished them and sold them back to us.

i have never used swainstons and never will just dont like the look of it ,i dont care what price i pay for feeding(even if it goes to £20 a bag)  ,most on here will spend more on a round of drinks on a friday night than a bag of quality corn . .ps im using bucktons winter economy just now and its only £620 a bag and is A1. remember it is winter /resting time .

[jimmy white]

I agree with what you say but I still cant believe that the quality of corn in a £5 bag is going to be as good as one costing £15.

 

i think theres no right or wrong here,, i would EXPECT to find the dearer bag better quality,,and if it wasnt , i would soon complain.

 

i have seen cheap bags really unfit for pigeons,, rubbish,,kept in the most unhygeinic, damp dirty conditions,,,   but have also seen cheap bags, stored and kept in the proper conditions, and of good quality, well worth the money, but very rarely nowadays

if you can see the difference in the swainstons feed and versa lagga or marimans

 

 

i would recomend vision exspress :-/ :-/ 8) 8)

I live about 5 miles from Swainstons, have been using their feeds for years.

Quality does vary from year to year , at the moment all are good clean feeds, barley is top notch.
