Given the seasonal demand and supply of supplemental feedstuffs, these feeds typically exhibit a seasonal price trend where higher prices are incurred during the winter months and lower prices during the summer months. With the wide range in the quantity of supplemental feeds needed and the price differences between stored bulk feed purchased in the off-season compared with bagged feed purchased on an as-needed basis during the winter, each farmer must evaluate their individual situation to evaluate if it is profitable to utilize a commodity feed barn to store supplemental feed for their cow-herd.
