Loving the herd life
We have been experimenting with organic/GMO free feed on our farm. It is definitely expensive and staying in control of costs is vital to making a profit. For a couple of years now, I have been considering purchasing 1 or 2 bulk feed bins to use through the summer when our consumption is the highest. However, we have a variety of species on our farm - dairy goats, pigs, rabbits, chickens, horses. The horses don't get grain. So, my thought is what if I can find something good enough that multiple species can eat it and I can purchase a single variety.
My initial thought is the goats are the most critical to a specific feed regimen with rabbits second, and I don't think those two will overlap well. However, if I was able to purchase bulk, organic goat feed, I think the chickens could probably do fine on that and the pigs might be ok too. We only raise 2 or 3 pigs a year.
Has anyone else taken this approach?
