Is this a good feed?

It should be good if it doesn't have two many pecans. Don't know why they are putting them in, they are bringing $1.00 a pound here and more in other places.
From the looks of one of the dark colored piles in one of those photos it looks more like pecan shells and junk. Probably got a little bit of pecan in some of it but not much.
 
I have a customer who feeds in-shell pistachios that are black like that. They have to be en-siled for quite a while because if fed to green they're not digestible. They come out looking just like that brown pile but with smaller chunks. When done right it's good feed. When done wrong it's a cow killer.

They're culls. Marketable pecans are pretty much the same as walnuts as far as pest damage. A trained eye can pick out the pest damaged nuts as they go up a convayor belt in shell so that they don't waste time drying and shelling them. The nut is usually still good it just doesn't LOOK pretty and soccor moms all across america want their food to look good.
 
The fellers down south and out west must completely wreck the incline augers so badly they end up removeing them. Why else would a person take them off. They must drive over them or something, I don't know it is a crazy thing. Makes my brain swell.

That guy better duck and cover-- its illegal to sell feed without a feed tag and all the regulations that go along with it. had a neighbor get into a huge mess doing the same thing.
He needs to sell it as compost- then the farmer can do whatever they want with it :)

True...and back to the original question. Nobody knows if it's a good feed or not as you have no guarantees whatsoever. The pics look like a hit and miss operation and I certainly wouldn't pay that price for it without any real analysis on it or seeing his feed manufacturing license.
