I have my own recipe from a friend, that they have used now for the last 30+ years.
I order the lowest amount I can at the feed mill, which is 500 pounds.
But that is still way cheaper then going with any premixed feeds. Bar none.
Geesh 50 lbs. of pre-mix feeds range anywhere from 10 bucks to well over 20 dollars depending on the quality, protein level etc.
So you can figure from 20 to 40 bucks a hundred.
So 500 pounds would vary from 100 to 200 dollars
I get 500 pounds, mixed up, for around 55 bucks.~! Varies some with the price of corn, oats etc.
But even when corn was so high, over a year ago I never went over 80 dollars for that same 500 pounds of sweet feed mix.
And you can also feed it to a steer, I raise one for the freezer every other year.
