Title: Where to get bags of corn, wheat, crushed maize and barley
Post by: Stefan on March 23, 2009, 01:01:23 pm

I am looking for a supplier who can deliver to the Highlands.
Would be even better it they were in the Highlands and I could collect.
Any ideas ?

Thanks Stefan

Does Norvite not have a depot near you - they have an office near Insch.  I got all my animal feeds there when i lived at Old Rayne.  They might deliver if they haven't got a depot - [email protected]

They are too far away from me. Inverness or above would be great.

Carrs Billington might deliver from Perth, maybe in a combined shipment to other farms. Or they'll tell you who can, very helpful folk.

I did a bit of local research in fife and it is amazing how many farmers sell feed on themselves, either self-produced or from wholesalers. I now get barley and wheat at £ 4 per 25 kg, which is half of what a merchant charges for mixed corn. It's worth just asking around locally. :&>

I get all my feed delivered by Davidsons of Blairgowrie and they are cheaper normally that Carrs Billington and their service is excellent. 01250 874486, if any use to you.

What do you pay for GM free (don't care about the brand) layers pellets, including delivery, James? :&>

From Davidsons £7.49 delivered

From Crop Services in  Pitlessie  £7.28, Spillers but you have to collect.

Hope this helps.

Good grief, I'm paying £8.25 at the local pet place and I have to lift the flipping bag over to my henhouse!  Do you need a minimum order - I have no storage
