Go to your college's Ag major and see if they have a feed grinder for livestock. If you don't have a dept or a feed grinder, you might contact a local tractor dealer and ask if they will let you use one, either on a short term rental or lease, or if they would donate the lease-rental fee to the university which they could then deduct from their taxes. If you know a livestock farmer, they may have one. Also, the local coop or feed dealer who does custom feeds should have a feed grinder.
