Livestock men (and ladies),

I need a list of the compound feed millers. Particularly the big players. Wondered if you guys could help me.

We have Thompsons and BATA in our area, but I don't know the regional firms in other areas.

Thanks.

The mills supplying North Derbyshire:
NWF
Carrs Billington
HJ Lea Oakes
Massey Feeds
GLW Feeds
Dugdale Nutrition
SC Feeds
ForFarmers
HiPeak Feeds (organic only)
John Cook
GP Feeds
Mole Valley (not sure if they still trade around here tough)
Plus loads of 'independent' nutritionists and sales reps selling under their own name but made at the mills listed above.

I used to work for one of them, so knew all the competitors!
