I used to work at a pet shop here in Chapel Hill, NC. I became friends with
one of the BilJac reps that would come to give out samples, etc. MF is not
"repacking" BJ--BJ actually makes the MF food for them. The story I got was
that some mink breeder was feeding BJ to his dogs. Some of the mink started
eating the food. The breeder noticed a big difference in skin & coat
quality, so he talked to the BJ folks & they started making food for him.
Eventually it turned into food for MF ferrets. (It's been awhile since I
heard the story, so I admit I may have a couple of facts crossed, but this
is the basic stuff.)
Hope this helps, & if you have any proof otherwise, please let me know & I
can check it out w/ my "contact" if you want:->
