We buy ours from East Coast Viners Grain, £280.00 per ton delivered, where are you? you never know maybe ECVG will deliver in your area. It is always made fresh and never had any problems with the feed.

i'm in N/W highlands, near the isle of skye.  Our feed merchant, harbro, is 87miles from here, but a lot of places seem to deliver relatively cheaply surprisingly.

Marriages mainly - they deliver a tonne pallet free. And it's GM free.

With tiny flocks and herds I buy mine by the bag and because I have only metal dustbins in an old caravan to keep it in I buy one, or at most two,bags at a time.
Mole Valley Farmers yesterday. £15-30 for one bag of layers pellets and one bag of ewe nuts :o I wish I could find cheaper but I have to take into account the cost of fetching it. At least MVF is on my way to my holding.
I always used to buy organic feeds but these are now more than twice the price of the other.

From Tarff Valley, we buy ours buy the pallet load as it's local and then just take the bags when we need it.
