Where can i buy big bags of oatmeal or grains in bulk?

[redhen]

Looking for a place (in Mass).. where i can buy oatmeal or some kind of grains in bulk bags?
I want to feed my pigs and chickens and geese something warm on the cold winter nights coming up... but i dont want to go broke doing it.
I think TSC sells bags of oats... but i dont think you can cook them.. can you?

What would you guys feed your critters to warm them up a bit on winter nights?..

TSC's rolled oats are just like oatmeal, except they do have some of the "shells" in with it. I'm sure they would cook and the hull parts would just be added crunch.

Be sure to get ROLLED oats if you want "oatmeal". They also sell whole oats and the bags are identical except for the words rolled and whole. Last time I got them, they had a mill problem and even some of the bags labeled rolled were whole (they sold those on discount) You can feel the difference through the bags though, whole ones are harder and poke-y feeling

Do I need to go take a picture for you?

I have about 35lbs here at the house, the rest is out at the coop. Nope, I'm not a chicken-holic, just ignore the feedsacks in the living room....

Beet pulp Red. All of your animals can eat it.
Yummy and nutritious.
I used to feed it to horses, goats, pigs, chickens, ducks...wild birds, deer who wandered in...lol

You mix it with warm water and it absorbs it all and becomes a super yummy warm treat.
I even added molasses, grains etc depending on who it was for.

TSC and most feed store carry it.
