[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 6676353, member: 54866"] Sorry are you talking about milling and pelleting your own grub or just making a pre-mix or blend of ingredients that are then fed to stock? Many UK farmers make their own blends by buying in the necessary feed materials as straights and mixing them in the correct quantities themselves. There are advantages and disadvantages of course like anything. Some materials are used in tiny amounts, don't store very well or are problematic to keep on farm (IE feed grade urea can be poisonous to stock if they get access to it in significant quantities). Also there is the need for labour (someone very conscientious), machinery and time to weigh out and mix these things. You can however buy in some materials in bulk form for a fair cost saving.
