Acorns are great for hog and pig feed because acorns fatten hogs faster than many feeds on the market. However, acorns cost more than premium swine feeds because it is harder to collect acorns as a whole feed. Acorns are high in fat, so with that said and the eating habits of swine, your hogs will fatten quicker and be ready for the market. Acorns are not cost effective for hog ranches. We get many emails and calls from hog farmers looking for a natural acorn feed. Hog farmers want a cost effective feed. You can only spend so much money bringing 1 hog to the market. We understand the cost ratio to profit of farmers but many farmers don’t understand that collecting acorns is a tedious process. The reason there are no acorn operations wholesaling to hog farmers is because the cost ratio hog farmers want is not profitable for acorn sellers like us. Selling acorns is 99% labor. It involves 2 parts – collecting and storing the acorns. Hog farmers want to pay .40 per pound but we can’t make a profit after labor costs collecting acorns and storing/loading them at .40 per pound. It is just not cost effective for us. We want to become affiliated with hog farmers but we also want to break-even or profit on our product.

Some people consider corn to be the best White Tailed Deer bait. Corn is the cheapest and most available deer bait, but it isn’t the best deer bait. Acorns are actually the best deer bait available. Corn is widespread sold, acorns are not. The reason for this is because acorns are living organisms and are hard to keep fresh and clean of mold. Deer will eat acorns even if they are moldy but customers will probably not buy moldy acorns at a feed store. If we cared about what deer eat we would spend more money and purchase the food deer prefer. Corn is high in carbs and to much corn is bad for deer, it can lead to dehydration and possibly death.
