What to feed out?

Looking to try feeding out on the creek this year and also the paddock behind the maimai for the parrys, whats a cheap feed option? and where to buy?

Thanks

When I had a bit of water to feed I found maize to be the best at dragging ducks in, its as dear as poison down here but it was worth it imo.

Pea vine baleage

Potatoes

Anything too small and the little birds (sparrows, blackbirds ect) make off with the feed.
Whole maize is good (not Kibbled) or some of the guys here use peas or you can make a mix of both.

As long as you are aware of this.......

Thanks for letting me know, guess i wont be doing that.

Anyone wants thumb sized fejoas. Nelson Tasman area. Whilst mine are beauties the fruit park up the road is over flowing with small fruit. If no one is interested will send them up to @Pengys for pig bait

Go to your local maize drying plant and see if you can get some floor sweepings.
