Bulk feed

What should I have ready when I call about bulk feed?

It helps to know what you're feeding and how many head; what feed you use now, and about how much per week or month; your hay and pasture situation; your bin size and where it sits on the farm; anything about delivery access — tight turns, narrow gates, low wires; the best time to reach you. Don't worry if you don't have it all — we'll work through it together.

What is the minimum order for bulk feed?

The minimum bulk order is 2.5 tons. For smaller amounts, our bagged feeds are sold at local feed dealers — use the dealer locator on our Where to Buy page to find one near you.

Do I need a feed bin to get bulk delivery?

Yes. You'll need a bin or container on your farm to receive the feed when it's delivered. If you're not sure your setup will work, ask during your meeting.

How does a custom feed formula work?

You meet with Emmalee or Liam on our sales team to talk about your animals, forage and goals. We formulate a feed for your operation and mill it at our plant in Madison, Georgia.
