hi ken, so it was noticeble compared with other corns the difference it had on the ybs ? is it more expensive than other types of corn and will you be using it this coming breeding season........do they sell a racing mix as well ?

To me yes i saw a big difference, ive just been and collected 6 bags today, the price of it is £13.95 for 20kilo bag, they do a range moulting resting, sprint, marathon
Ken

hi ken, so which mix will you use for the roundabout birds when racing.......?

I will be useing the spirit sprint for land and the maraton for the channel races
Ken

ive heard of this before from you ken, but ive never seen it at any of the corn merchants i go to.....is there any other you could recommend which is decent that i would be able to feed them on when breeding and racing.

Davidt i used to use the trurling mixes i found these mixes to be execellant, the only reason im not still on teurlings is because our stockest decided not to sell it anymore, so if you can get hold of this product i would recommend it
Ken

and is this a dear corn ken, or is it similar to the one you will be using ? the best corn supplies i know of are crowthers at wakefield....they have a lot of different corns but i dont know if they have these, ill look when i go next.

they are the same price, im sure the other lads and ladies could reccommend corn mixes which they believe is as good if not better than the 2 i have said
Ken

maybe could ken, but no one seems to be forthcoming with any suggestions tonight......

B leefe and sons sell it they are at showfield lane,malton, n, yorkshire
Ken

not sure how to spell it as its to dark to go and have a look now but i use versele laga breeding mix and the versele widdowhood mix for racing,and at the moment my birds are on the versele laga resting mix

used versa-laga (?) corn before and it seemed ok stuff......did use beyers at one point but shop stopped getting it in. going to see what crowthers of wakefield have for this year. mark, crowthers isnt that far from you.....do you go there ?
