Soya £450 
I did think it was steep, I’ve heard they have put their feed up about £30/t in the last month. I did ask what creep was likely to do and they think it won’t go any higher, it’s £315 in totes at the minute.
I was told on Friday because I had ordered and taken delivery in Jan that they would stick to price through to the end of april

Grass
I’m not a big feeder, start about 10-14 days before lambing beginning of Feb and usually stop in late marich when grass growth takes off. Take it you lamb outside or feed red clover silage, I don’t find much grass in a shed.

Yea, lamb outside.I’m not a big feeder, start about 10-14 days before lambing beginning of Feb and usually stop in late marich when grass growth takes off. Take it you lamb outside or feed red clover silage, I don’t find much grass in a shed.
Used to lamb indoors mid March, and winter sheared. Fed quite heavy up to lambing, but not after turnout.
Upped my numbers (and breed) and switched to outdoor lambing.

It’s not a bad feed for the price imo for this year. A few cheap fillers in there but most have.
Ask them what ME it is.

its not a good feed from the ingredients that’s why, fillers near the start better ingredients are way down the list.
I don’t like to see rape so high up there, someone along time ago said it was a very bitter tasting feed. However most feeds this year have it second on the list.
Why has Nwf lost the plot this year? They wouldn’t of got away with putting their prices up ( a month or so before lambing) if we had been dairy farmers.
