Wondered the same. I remember feeding 30 or so and looking back I can't figure out how I did it. Money nor time.

I can't imagine feeding 200 dogs.

I was in SC a number of years ago and a guy dumped two bags of dog food in the back of a John Deere Gator. We rode around for nearly 2 hours feeding dogs. I do not know how many he fed but there was only a handful of dog food left when we got back to the house, just enough to feed the foo-foo dog in the front yard.

I can't imagine.

They don't get the time nor the attention. They are a means to an end.

Forget time and attention, with my memory I would have to tag them like cows to know what was what and who was who.

Byte Kennels. Great guy, we had some fun times together.
The Shep dogs never amounted to much, too many curs too close up.
There were a lot better dogs down from the ones Bill Bancroft had than the Shep dogs.

 

There’s a lot of truth in the above statement.
My partner and I fed consistently between 20-50 dogs for over 20 years, not easy, it was constant work.
WCC fed 50-100 dogs for longer than that, if you were lucky enough to go there you saw what real dedication looked like.
My (and my partner’s) goal was to take as good or better care than B&Julie did which was setting the bar high to say the least.
It was more than worth it as you would see the dogs live to their full potential. The first rule of animal husbandry is keep the animals happy, healthy and stress free, if you can’t do that you have no business feeding and raising animals.
I would always love the look on the face of dogmen as they walked onto the yard...they would just say WOW.
If you’d see WCC for the first time you’d do the same, or even better the yard of Sonny (S.O.S)

And then there’s the guys that raise their animals worse than the lowest white trash hillbillies. Flies, fleas, just miserable animals, heartbreaking really ‘cause you’d think they should know better.
I won’t name names but one of the worst offenders rhymes with stool-preacher.

 

We fed diamond and sold it in the olden days, it was way above average back then and the beef and rice was cheap. I would buy truckloads with a buddy and I’d pass it on to dogmen at COST because I wanted to see dogs fed well. If I remember right #40 bags were about $10

 

Us too. I was lucky enough to have two pallets delivered here every month. The fellows swarmed on it like vultures. LOL

We saved some money and for me the savings in time was just as valuable.
