How to Get the Best Animal Feed Pricing
Ensuring your flock, herd and livestock receive the best nutrition is as critical to your bottom line as it is to the health of your animals. While animal feed pricing may fluctuate, you can plan ahead to control costs. Here are three easy steps you can take to manage your feed costs.
Keep Nutrition Up & Animal Feed Pricing Down.
1. Choose Nutritionally Efficient Feed
Selecting nutritionally efficient feed means your animals get a great mix of protein, energy and minerals containing as many whole grains as possible, without the filler products that can be found in commercially produced feed. At Sunrise Farms, we avoid grain byproducts in our feeds. While filler products make a cheaper feed, using whole grains allows for minimal processing and blending while providing nutrient density and balance. Our feeds are chemically cleaner, tested for glyphosate and many other chemicals found in common herbicides. In addition, we are non-GMO verified by the non-GMO Project. Although more cost upfront, higher quality feed can boost both animal health and productivity while limiting the need for costly supplements or extra feed volume.
2. Buy Smarter
To save on costs, you can buy in bulk or take advantage of price breaks. Here at Sunrise Farms, our feed can last up to two months (up to four months for pellets) if kept in cool, dry storage, so you won’t have to worry about our feed going bad quickly. You might invest in a feed bin or other bulk storage option to avoid the cost and work of buying bagged feed. You could also go together with friends or neighboring farms to place larger orders. Additionally, we offer quantity price breaks at 40 and 120 bags of feed to help keep your feed expenses down.
3. Shop Locally
Buying locally does more than just keep your dollars local and support businesses in your area; it also can help reduce feed pricing. Whether you’re in Charlottesville, Leesburg, Hillsville or anywhere in between, picking up your feed yourself from Sunrise Farms or one of our local dealers, helps you avoid delivery and shipping costs.
These moves can help you keep animal feed pricing down without compromising the health or well-being of your animals. Visit our store in Virginia and start saving today.
