⁉️ DID YOU KNOW ⁉️
We make 90% of the feed we use right here on our farm, from Corn that we grow ourselves!
We make all of our sow feed, gilt developer feed, all of our stage 2 and beyond nursery and grower feeds. We do purchase early weaning prestarter pellets and some of our feed for the kids' summer fair pigs.
Once every 3 weeks we make a trip to Ge**er Feed in Dalton to purchase all of the soybean meal, minerals, and extra ingredients we don't grow that we will use to make our fresh feed. We use a combination of Commercial & Sunglo feed mixes.
Today we are using the last of our corn from 2024, and this week we will finally start corn harvest to fill the bin back up!
Happy pigs get fed Heppe Corn! 🤣
