T_T Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 I recently bought a 50 bag load most of which was 25kg. What really gets under my skin is pet shops selling you a small bag of straw for £1 30 and you can get a bale for £2 50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardner you would have to ask him, but you must remember gem comes in at 25kg and not 20kg which 98% of grain companies seem to sell these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demolition man Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Gem have a trade price list we buy it in bulk at trade, so doubt if you would get it at the same price in a shop. plus they do many supplements, cheaper than shop prices providing you by the food in bulk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
