Will 1,000 pounds of cotton seed fit in a regular bed pick up? I have no idea what 1000 pounds even looks like and have never dealt with it before. It is the smallest ammount I can buy so Im giving it a shot.
Let me know if any of you can help out

Don't think so. We bought it by the ton, and I don't think a Big truck load was over 3 tons. But that could of been th peanut hulls... I can't remeber
I think it will be to bulky. Maybe not if you put some tall sides on your truck

It has been over 30 years since I bought or even hauled cotton seed. I think it will depends if it is good cleaned seed or seed with trash. The seed with trash will be real bulky. I would call the place and ask them.

If it's cotton seed it will, if it's cottonseed hulls, no. The 50# bags are twice the size of corn bags. Unless you want to stack them high and strap them.

Is it delinted or not. If it is not delinted it will not feed through a feeder and it a thosand pounds will fill up the bed of a truck.

Lady said it was clean seed and is selling it to me in 100lb bags which are the size of a large dog food bag. I take it that it is delinted then.
So i guess I should have no problem fitting it after all.

$300 a ton so $150 for half a ton or $17 for a $100 bag. I have never fed pure cotton seed either... Its new to me. Should I go with the burrs or hulls? Is that what everyone else does...

Wouldn't that be $15 per 100# bag? Anyway, about the same price as corn. Never seen deer grazing in a cotton field before. I might have been missing out all these years.

The deer will eat cotton seed and the combination of seeds and hulls. They also can pretty well demolish a cotton field. Several cotton field around us have fences on the side that border on pastures to keep the deer out of the fields.

They mark it up a bit to sell in smaller quanities. Thats why not $15 per bag. Well time to hit the sack. Its aoudad hunting time tomorrow!
