Just wondering what the cost of 50lbs of feed is in your area?. Here at the feed mill, Oats are $6.50 a bag, cracked corn is $7.00 whole corn $6.50, 18% heifer grain is $6.50 and 10% horse sweet feed is $8.00 Layer pellets are $9.00
 
Here in CT I'm paying $12.50 +/- for 50 lbs of layer pellets either at the local feed store or Tractor Supply...
 
I'm paying $180 a ton for a 12% growing ration, $200 a ton for ground corn from the farm and $120 a ton for rice bran. All are prepay bulk prices.
 
I pay 6 euro (about $8) for 50kg oats or barley from the feed store and about 20% less if I buy it from the neighbor. Have my own mill (roller). Beet pulp is about 5 euro for 50kg.

NH Market bulletin: Whole corn $10.50, 16% Pellets $9.25, Horse Feed??? $12.10, Layer Mash $11.58, Corn Meal $9.25. Now those price may look high but just remember that here in the Granite state we have no taxes.
 
Dave, 50 kg equals 110 pounds, so it sounds like you get a good deal. I buy sheep mineral at $25 per 25kg bag, (55 lbs) and dog food at $20 per 25 Kg bag, but I buy barley in bulk. I take my gravity wagon to the local elevator and it costs me $135 per tonne. (1000 kg or 2200 lbs)
 
you just got done bashing me for feeding corn to cattle though most people outside the midwest wouldn't know what a good steak tastes like anyway, you know the steaks with marbling from feeding corn, maybe you like those tough grass fed cattle that Redwing uses for boot material.
 
I wasent bashing you or anyone else. I dont believe in finshing cattle on straight corn thats all. I feed my cows sweet feed as a treat to keep them tame, and handelable, for the head locks, vet, AI ect. and hay and grass. I have gotten $890.00 _+ for 1300lb _+ herfords, on hay and grass. Good or bad I dont know, but it dident cost me much to feed them. I feed my horses 10% sf and rolled and coated oats, and my hens layer pellets, and C, corn. I was just wondering what grain cost in other parts of the country. Maybe I miss understood you, sorry. J
 
Here in North Central Texas, I am paying 7.50 per 50 lb bag of 20% breeder plus cubes. Availabale in regulare 3/4 inch cubes or the small 3/8 inch cubes which is what I use since I feed in troughs. It has vitamins, some mineral, magnesium, etc. Produced by Big V feed mill in McAlester (sp) Oklahoma, ans sold at local feed store in Weatherford, TX.

14% = $183.00 a ton 4-way

16% = $205.00 a ton 4-way

20% = $240.00 a ton Cake

DDG = $230.00 a ton 5/32 pellet

Southern Oklahoma
 
Wow $300.00 a ton.I don't know how many head your feeding,but you might look into DDG.It's about 25-27% protein and 7% fat.I get it in super sacks and also feed in bunks at about 3 lbs a head a day.This is the first year I have been able to get it pelleted instead of just powder and it makes it nicer to feed in the wind.Not trying to tell you what to do,and it's not as easy as a sack,but I like--some of my neighbors have started feeding it aswell since I did and like it.
 
jay, you're getting a bargain on those corn prices. in the southern tier, whole corn is around 200/ton, corn meal is 240+/ton. i'm glad i have my homegrown shell corn.
 
I dont know were you are in NY, but I get my feed from Arnolds feed& grain in Amsterdam. I know they deliver, but I dont know how far away they go. They deliver horse pellets by the ton to a big horse farm I worked at.
 
Tell me more. What is DDG? Where do you get it? How does it come? Bulk? Cost? What is a supersack? Thanks, Tom
 
What is 4-way? Can you post some more detail, name of feed mill, etc. Like everyone else, I need to cut some corners if available here in my area. Thanks, Tom
 
DDG= dryed distillers grian,it's what left after they make ethanol from corn.I'm paying $230.00 a ton this year in 5/32 pellets,before it was in powder form.Super sack is what we put our pecans in(big feed sack that holds about a ton)You can fill from the top and empty from bottom or scoop out of the top.used sacks can be had for a couple buck or up to about $20.00.I move them with loader,but you could set one on a trailer if you don't have a loader.I get mine from the feed mill(Davis OK) it comes in by rail.Who ever sells bulk feed should be able to tell you who has it if they don't.
 
4-way is just mixed by products corn glutten,wheat mids,soy hulls,what ever is cheapest to get the protein or tdn at the time.

This web site kinda breaks it down for you some,they are a little high priced for me,but have good feed for our part of the world IMO.
 
Ton is the standard english measure that weighs 2000 lbs. Tonne is the french measure that our former communistic leader Pierre Elliot Treaudeau forced on us 30 years ago and weighs 2200 lbs. That's why its spelled different. So when you compare grain prices in Canada to 50 years ago, you always have to remember to convert the weights. A neighbour told me that in 1960 he was getting $150 dollars a ton for barley delivered to the mill. That was a 2000lb ton, not the 2200lb tonne of today. According to my rough calculations, if barley had gone up the same amount as the so-called average wage, barley would be worth $1800 per tonne today.
