Fodder Feeding - Our family farm path to organic. 

Every excruciating detail, but I want you to see that it took me 22 minutes. When people complain about all the fuss, I want you to see it is 20 minutes, twice a day. We were using locally milled animal feed for our 25 chickens and 2 calves, and feed costs were killing us. We did not want to go to even cheaper feed, we wanted to go organic. I stumbled across a youtube video about fodder feeding, found an extremely helpful (and ongoing) thread at http://familycow.proboards.com/index.... that gave me enough detail to jump in.
My calves and chickens are healthy and happy, and my feed bill saw such a drastic cut that I have switched to organic grains and still save money! (Shout out to azurestandard.com for making organic grain affordable and available!)

I'm going to try this :)
