Again, on bird feed
Sunday, November 7, 2010 at 12:27PM Mixing things up, just to keep it all exciting.
This recipe is mostly dry, to allow the feed to flow through feeders, and avoid freezing problems.
I put 2 pounds of alfalfa pellets in the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket and top the pellets with hot water.
Add 2 pounds of black oil sunflower seeds and 3.75 pounds of whole oats.
Crush 11.25 pounds of whole barley and add to the mix.
Sprinkle with cayenne pepper and 1 tsp poultry vitamin/mineral/probiotic.
Add 1/8 pound salt, 1/4 cup kelp and 1/4 cup brewer's yeast.
Top with 2.75 pounds of salmon meal.
Mix, mix, mix, pour off into another 5 gallon bucket, mix and feed. Makes 25 pounds.

Does anyone know if this is cost effecient?
I've pulled the sunflower seeds out of the mix. At current Alaska prices, this recipe costs 30 cents a pound. I don't know where you're located, Fay, but the idea is to feed as local as possible.
