Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: fertilizing pastures
Yes, this is becoming bigger than we imagined it would. I'd like to
invite everyone to look at this page
http://www.westwind
to see what I'm talking about with the fleece improvements. And to see
what poor quality corn and grain by-product feeds can do to your
alpacas' fleeces. And of course we all know that hair health is an
indicator of overall general health in humans as well as every other
animal.
I am talking with a woman in Ohio who would like to start having this
feed milled in her area by a local custom mill. We have had a lot of
interest all over the country in this, and really, this is only way to
have this work since shipping "less than truckload" units is
ridiculously expensive. FedEx freight quoted me at over $950 to ship a
1 ton pallet from Eugene to Tacoma last week. Well, that's more than
the feed itself costs, so that won't work!
So, if anyone is really interested in researching to find a custom mill
in their area, preferably organic certified, who can produce the feed
according to our ingredient specs and not cost based, let me know. We
think this feed should be available nationwide.
