Corn oil

OK...strange question. Does anyone know where I can get bulk quantities of corn oil? Preferably 30 gallon drums, with quantity one minimum. I would consider a 55 gallon drum, but I don't want to go up to a 300 gal tote.

The wife feeds a cup (or more!) per day of corn oil to each horse, and the gallon jugs at the grocery store are getting expensive.

Try Sysco. They are a huge foodservice company and may have 30 gallon containers.

Another option might be DOT Foods, but they are a longshot. Might want to see if there is a foodservice warehouse in the DeKalb area?

In my attempt to help find, I found some info that may or may not be useful. I know nothing about a horses diet.

"I provide 20% to 25% of their total daily calories from a supplemental fat and have used soy, rice, canola, and coconut oils, which are all excellent choices.

Corn oil is my last choice for a fat supplement, and I never even consider Linseed oil as a fat alternative. Flax seed should only be used as the main ingredient for bran mash and not as a choice for a fat source."
