The rising cost of feed!

[quailfarm7]

I hate to say it but just wait until they figure out how bad it is in the midwest. Corn is over $7 a bushel and they lowered their numbers on what they think will be harvested.

Adam,

I know, I spoke with my supplier(the owner) this morning, he told me he's paying $7.50 bushel on corn. Wheat and Oats are even higher.

Wheat came down today its right around $8 a bushel now. It was close to $7 before everything started flooding and the corn was down close to $6. It went up fast this week. Maybe they will get more beans planted now since it is later in the season. Then starter with higher protein will go down and corn prices will stay through the roof.

[quailfarm7]

Soybeans is around $15.50 right now. I think as long as we keep hearing bad news out of the midwest we will see them hitting all time highs everyday. This stuff is going to put a lot of people out of business and the hobby people are even going to be thinking about what they are doing with 50lb bags nearing 18-$20 a bag if this keeps up.

Feed will probably go thru the roof in the next few months in our area because the flood ruined  about 85 percent of the crops by the time waters out of fields, it will be too  late to replant. Corn prices jumps around up and down every week we get feed. The mill grinds the grain for us and we buy small amounts of bulk. We have 150 layering hens. And now trying to raise a few Quail( which I know nothing about). Chickens I can do.But these little burgersare real different. I've never had a chick jump out of the incubator on me and the adults were alot stronger than I was ready for..

Last Sunday, the 22nd, I was at Tractor Supply to purchase a 15 gal sprayer, and noticed that their price of Whole corn, 50lb bag is now priced at $8.90 Two weeks ago it was at $7.40.

Even the wild bird food has taken a huge increase, along with the HI-Protien Dog Food. I was paying $12.50 for 50lbs of country value(made by Diamond) and now it is up to $15.95.

Country Value Dog Food made by Diamond is in the Blue Bag.

Protien Minumum: 26%
Fat content Maximum: 18%

The Country Value Blue bag will have the marking 26/18

The food is bite size, swelling when water tested is at a minimum. So if you get this and the dog eats a fare share and drinks quanities of water, the dogs stomach wil not bloat due to the dog food.

Wasn't horse used for dog food?  If so, those who don't know will be tickled to know that the last slaughterhouse for horses was closed in the USA. Now they are shipped to Canada and Mexico....processed.....then shipped back.   

Pure Genius's!!  There should be some politicians behind bars for supporting such an injustice.   Maybe ole Hussien will straighten it all out?

slider,

What are you feeding protein% and fat% in the off season? I only feed my dogs the higher Country value during the hunting season when they are working.

During the summer months, I cut back and use Pride Dog Food. This is also the bite size.

The protein minimum  is 22%
and the Fat minimum is 10%

The Pride Dog food is manufactured by:

Hyland Company

Their dog food also contains OMEGA -3 and OMEGA -6 which seems to darken their stools considerably. Not black, but a real chestnut brown.
