Milk replacer

We actually found some good quality non-medicated formula at TSC. No soy, 20/20 w/ Crude Fiber 0.15% (max). I have been mixing the new formula in with the old formula and the calf doesn't seem to mind and seems to be doing well.
Called ten feed stores and even Purina suppliers around here and everyone only sells medicated formula... So we thought we were going to have to go with the Does Match until we found the good formula at TSC. It's Dumor, not Land O Lakes, but it looks like I'll just have to give in and use the next best thing.. No one around here could order any non-medicated Land O Lakes (not happy about that), so the feed store is going to try to order Purina Hi-Energy Nurse Chow 100 for us on Monday.
I had no idea that it was such a hassle to purchase non-medicated Calf Milk that meets my criteria.

Tractor Supply sells 50 pound bags of milk replacer (Dumor I think) and I think its about $65/bag. It mixes with water very well and this is our 3rd calf raised on it. They love it (but they love sucking anything!)

That $65/bag price is ONLY for a 22 Pound Sack. On their website it is $59.99
But again that is only for a 22 pound bag. a 50 pound bag is $89.99
Most places that sell 50" bags, most ONLY Sell 50 pounders, are are Way over 80 bucks now in price.
I am on my second one right now and I paid 86.95 at one of our larger farm supply stores.

Three weeks ago I bought my first MR in years. The feed store clerk rang it up and said $45 please. I thought at least something has gone down in price remembering paying $65 years ago. Well the $45 dollar price was for a 25 pound bag, I nearly passed out. So I traded in the 25 pound bag bought a 50 pounds bag for $90....Costly hobby raising animals....Topside
