My local feed store doesn't have alpaca/llama grain they offered to order it for me. He isn't familiar with alpacas at all but I read some of the threads to him about feeding. From this thread https://www.alpacanation.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=10874
"Read the labels on the different types of horse feed, you will find the same ingredients just in different levels. You can get some premium horse feeds in sweet versions and in pelleted versions for a lot less than alpaca/llama feed when the grain prices start going up. The biggest problem with sweet feed is that it can get hard when cold so you have to break it up. I have used it, and had that problem and it was easy to over come by simply banging it with a short stick."
He suggests "3 way grain" i took a picture of the label. It's $12 for a 50 lb bag. This is more than half off of what I was paying. Can they have this?
