racing pigeons need the best quality corn...

[freebase]

If you are looking for the best quality corn, of various types, look no further than racing pigeon feed.
No joke.

The Cribbs maize (dried naturally, in the field, on the plant for 6 months, carefully protected with nets) is untreated in any way.
Lots of seed maize has either a pesticide to prevent animals eating the seed, or is of general low quality/selection.
Chicken feed is (generally) mixed with other grains, and can contain oils, etc.

Not so your top end Racing Pigeon feed.
For instance Vanrobaeys (Belgium)
Their Yellow Cribbs, Bordeaux and a version of "Bloody Butcher" are excellent quality.
Particularly if you are looking to malt maize.

25Kg sack is about 25 pounds + delivery.
There is no comparison with the quality of feed grain for domestic animals.
These pigeon racers demand the best quality, and they get it.
I won't use anything else now...

Happy malting.
