I could talk to them and get 1,000# added to the order if you want of the 4.5mm feed, and if you really wanted larger pellet size YP feed, the small mill can run some special order 7mm YP feed. But, to run the special order, I think that has to be 1,000# minimum. I know that smaller batches can be run, but due to the labor costs being the same anything less and the price per pound really gets high.
Scott, correct this if I missed something. This is for the YP feed. (you can also delete this if you want
)
Based on texts, and my take on it.
Minimum run from the mill for economical purposes is 20,000 lb or more. That is what they would like to run for any particular setup. Sounds reasonable, and makes an attractive price.
Minimum order within that 20,000 lb run or more is 1,000 lb. Still an attractive price.
They can combine multiple orders to hit the 20,000 lb run, but not till that benchmark is met, so it may be a while.
Or, they could run thru another mill and make smaller quantities, but the price would really suck!
That about right?
