I had 6t of mole valleys medium range ewe roll delivered yesterday. £305/t,funny thing is the driver said it comes down from Scotland to glos because they can’t keep up.

This what I'm feeding this year, €348/t . It always surprises me the amount of fillers go into some of the rations posted on here considering the amount of grain grown in the uk

If that’s just normal soya and not high pro, which I’m guessing it is to be that high up the list, you’ve got the soya with hulls blended back in, then some extra soya hills, and some sugar beet. Oats as one of the main energy sources, you certainty not short on fibre in that ration.

I was told it is 15% soya and I suppose the rest are in desending order

Just ordered carrs mid roll 18% for 317 4.5 tonne bulk blown, (top roll is 19% seemed excessive rep did not recommend it for my stock)

swapped from Jameson’s ewedale gold who were 315,

sure you big buyers should be able to hammer them prices a fair bit over a season?

from what I can make (simple farmer type) out the carrs looked to be a slightly better roll (higher energy from ingredients if I understand it correctly) we will see how they go, sheep seem to like them better

Ours usually get the Carrs mid range nut. Our rep says the top range one is for fancy folk who like too pay more without actually getting any better value. He thinks they should just sell the mid range as their only ewe and lamb nut. 🤷🏻‍♂️
although with prices as they are I’m having too do some serious scheming into the ewe ration. 🤔
