They want to sell it but give no details
Looks that way Buster
I like 2/3 or the mixtures but the carbs / fats are vital to me and more modern mixtures can be deceiving on first look
I will probably stick with my own made up mixture in the end but mans buying 4 different sacks so I was looking for a easy option I guess
I do, Neil. Yes it means having to but bags of straight grains, but you know what you have. Nothing worse than paying high prices for a mixture, only to find that the wheat is dirty or the saff has a smell or something. I had it happen when the club bought a bulk deal on race mix once.

SS seeds do sell the Paloma corn Neil, I don't know of anyone who uses it though. As I said most don't use anything fancy, you just need to get enough of you together to buy a pallet load.
The other corn some use is from Countrywide, also very nice clean mixes at sensible prices, but again you need to buy a pallet load.
I have to say though that the majority of our Fed, and the Southcoast Fed, use Bamfords as the Southcoast Fed Secretary buys that in bulk and stores it in his Garage, so it's easy for the members to collect it, or in some cases he will deliver it.

I like the peas etc in Bamfords but not convinced with the wheat / barley quality always looks a little dirty for want of a better word
I use there protein base with beans for breading with no problems

As a pet shop I am very limited to what pigeon corn is available from my wholesalers, they just don’t stock much anymore. I could get it from the different companies but I would have to purchase a whole pallet. The only ones I have available apart from their own brands are Bucktons or Marriages.
Back just enjoying club racing for the time being.

I can’t seem to see it on there website but I imagine it’s me as most suppliers give you this information well the main ones do
I think Leon used the brand or mentioned it once so possible would have researched it
This one would put hairs on your chest Neil
