How much more?

What are you paying now?

You planning to supply the ingredients or buy them for the commercial mix?

Have you talked to your local mill yet?

Those are the folks that will have the answer.

I have already scratched the idea of buying commercial feed because I want to be able to change it as i need to. but has anyone one ever heard of top dressing the feed with wheat germ oil or anything like that? If so..what does it do??
