Feed Cost?

I feed Purina Checks Pigeon Mix 16.99 for 50lbs just pellet feed or when I go to north Ga I feed racers mix for 18.00 50lbs

I mix my own in South Dakota and like Pete, I can usually keep the price to $9 to $10/50#. There are calculators on the net, one that I use is on the Austrialian Racing Union site. Also if you are mixing by hand, a great tool is the OD-JOB mixer. Made in Canada and available at Menards. You can mix about 75 lbs per load. Its made to mix small batches of concrete or mortar. All plastic and $19.99. You can also find them on ebay. Mixes much better than by hand.

Ours was 17.95 for 50lbs in June..then we switched suppliers and it was bumped to $22 and now our new shipment has arrived and looks like its going to to be $24.50. with .50 cents going to the club for each sale. It seems all feed is going up Florida.

Was buying seed (forgot name of it, purple bag) for $27, and had to drive 70 miles round trip to get it.
Then a feed store opened here in town, was able to get Bar Ale brand, 17% for $14.00! But you get what you pay for...only bought 2 bags of it because the seed was dusty, had stalk pieces in it & had weavils(?) that turned into tiny moths.
Begged the Hardware & Ranch supply to special order seed for me. They got me Top Flight 17% Gold Tag racing mix. Birds love it, I love it, everyones happy Costs a bit more at $25 bag, but very clean seed (no dust, no bugs, no junk)

[TylerBro]

ha i have a feed store that is about 40 miles round trip but they wash there seeds and stuff so its really clean and i love it alot ... if i feed to much they get fat on me

[Shadybug Lofts]

I had those tiny moths get in my safflower. I put it in the freezer and froze them.

For my flyers it goes for $23.00. For my breeders. I get 100lbs of whole corn and mix with 40lbs Petco wild bird feed. So thats 140lbs for $25.00

[pigeon is fun]

50 lbs of 17% leach brand for $20 even.
