We're on an 18% barley top beef nut atm, at about £210/t for 5t loads blown. Was quoted £216/t for a 16% the other day from another firm. He was expecting another price drop in Sept, particularly for anything high cereal.

Using a very good 16% nut for calves on milk up to 180kg that’s £229 in bulk loads. I’Ansons

That’s their problem...if I tried to sell this years cattle at last years prices I’d be doing all right....better buying barley and protein and mixing it yourself
Wouldnt suit creep fed single suckled calves, it doesnt take make to upset them especially in this warm weather. Heard one big cake firm is wielding the axe, to many staff and not enough being sold.

Supaflow beet pulp £179/t 28t.
I thought it might have been keener priced what with feed barley at £106 and oats a little over £100.

You can bet they won’t have any of last years corn bought forward next year when the price has gone up.
I encountered this problem in the spring when my dairy cake went up at the same time as grain prices were falling, i enquired why and they said they still had stocks left over after low sales over winter. WHAT!!!!!!! I thought dairy farmers had fed heavier over the winter due to low forage stocks.
Ahhhh but beef and sheep boys had cut back so I was paying more..............not for long, I changed feed firm.?

THey are making a fair racket at that. I think feed mills try to take too much these days. You can feed double alkagrain treated barley for that price
