Cost Of Feeding

[nogin]

IMO the cost of beans seems to be the biggest mystery why the fk are they so expensive

 

CAUSE THERE GID OAN TOAST

[gulkie]

Where the hell are the drop in prices we were supposed to get with the

Great harvest,s the farmers had this year ,or is this another rip of we are

Getting bestowed apron us.

[walterboswell59]

as long as fanciers keep thinking it costs a fortune so it must be better hype we are going to keep getting ripped off clubs need to get together and buy in bulk from the cheapest source as long as its good clean dry grain it makes no difference and if we dont buy it they will have to drop there price imo and if your buying in bulk dont be afraid to ask for more discount they want your money make them work for it

I buy my feeding by the ton for handiness because of work commitments,Gem and countrywide both excellent best single product by a proverbial mile if used properly Bamfords Extreme Energy .

TheHigg picked me up a 25kg bag of Barley for £5.50 yesterday. I went tonight and got 2x20kg bags of Versa Laga traditional, 1x20kg bag of Show mix, and a 25kg bag of Natural Moulting mix, £55.00 all in for 110kg's of feeding. Good bad or indifferent price i'm not too sure of but All mixed together i reckon it will be a well balanced mix for the winter.
