Farm corn....?

now racing has finished for me im thinking of feeding them over the winter on some cheaper corn, ive been told by a few people who feed their birds on farm corn which they reckon is cheap and decent enough for over the winter.........

whats your thoughts anyone...?

crowthers popped up today david with me stuff there thinking of quiting versalaga to much to import
some good belguim barley few peas and pellets will see um moult well linseed also and a good bath
the top men are already getting prepared for winter and early breeding
as for your question all the missing y/b come back looking well on fresh corn from the fields

just wondering if i should feed the farm corn graham, just over the winter, then back onto good corn for breeding/racing..........im paying 14 pound a bag for the widowhood and super diet and its getting expensive to feed it all winter.

i know crowthers do winter/resting mixes at approx 7.50 - 8 pound a 25kg bag, ive also heard other fanciers paying 5 pound a bag for farm corn.

well each to there own david but whats better fresh grown or old

but ive never had problems with farm fresh beans wheat barley for winter just watch the birds mate

my winter feed is barley 60% peas 5/% wheat10/% then a good allround mix but i do keep mine on pigeon tea from september till breeding just something ive always done

i have just getting 3 bags of barley and 3 bags of wheat from our local farm mixed it with a bag of economy , this will last me through until breeding starts , and only £4 abag
