Highlighted Reviews
"Thank you for making a natural healthy feed. I ferment this feed and it's worth every penny. I refuse to feed my babies the processed pellets. Great feed"
"I have 8 pigs, none of which like this food at all. ... I guess I will feed it to the wild turkeys and an already pricey product will cost me even more to try and ship it back. Lesson learned."
