Title: Northern Ireland pig feed sourcing
Post by: bryntevans01 on April 20, 2018, 01:48:41 pm

Hi guys,

Wanted to ask if any of my A.S.H friends live in Northern Ireland and are able to source good quality pig feed. I’m currently using the Thomsons as it’s all I’ve been able to find locally. Everywhere seems to have big surcharges for delivery which almost doubles the prices! Thanks

Late to the punch here, but I've a couple of kunes, and have just moved from regular commercial meal to Allen & Page Pot Bellied Pig food. I food a local Allen & Page stockist, and whilst they don't carry that product (quelle surprise) they ordered a couple of bags in for us without issue.  Not cheap @ £15/bag, but our animals are just pets, so we can justify the cost on that basis.

How much do you use?  Those 2 bags will last my crew quite a while - they're outdoor and grazing at the minute too, which helps.
