Hi, we have the opportunity to buy some reasonably priced organic grain for our sheep, these are the ingredients: Barley, Oats, Wheat (small amount), Soy, Flax, listed at 16% protein. With supplimented mineral block, and grass hay, can you see any issues with this? Thank you in advance :worship:

Kabri, I used the cracked corn in this mix. If you are getting this from who I think you are..,, Normally the organic corn whole kernels are huge!
This mix can also help a lot in the quality of the fleece you get.

For the mineral/salt, Ross is right, loose mix is best. Sheep just can't get enough from a block.
Cenex will special order you the Sheep only mineral/salt mixes.

Ross, it is supposed to be whole grains except for the flax and soy. We've been unable to find good cracked organic corn, so we will be adding conventional for the sheep only. We DO feed separate salt mineral mix free choice. (always have).

Bergere, We are getting our feed from Canada, thru a dealer in WA. We can get it in 55gal barrels which is SO much nicer than continuously hefting 50lb bags into garbage cans every few days!

Kabri,

Having 55gal barrels sounds great!!!
If I may ask, what are you paying for your Organic feed?

I'll send you a pm!

:no: PM does not allow enough room, I sent you an email instead, from the address on your web site.
