Is It possible to completely cut the feed mill out and source and mix our own feed supplements? Our 3 main ingredients in our complete feed are ground corn, canola meal, and dried distillers grain. Easy enough to source those 3 and save a fair bit. Would it be worth while mixing the other ingredients on farm ourselves? If you used a private nutritionist and could source the small ingredients to make a mix and then buy the 3 main ingredients as commodities? How much savings could there be? I’m betting it would be substantial savings for us but looking for opinions before we look hard at it.. has anyone attempted this before? How much would on farm milking cost?
