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.
