Do you have any photos of the big house please?

Hi all, Do people use buckets or cake when flushing, ewes are in good condition but I was just thinking of giving them some Crystalyx high energy tubs a few weeks before tupping. What’s buckets do you find good if you use them? Cheers all.

Click extra here also, great product.

Great thanks @bobthebeef. Sounds good to me, I normally buy our aberfield tups through innovis using figures only and then get them delivered. They have been a bit up and down with some being too much BFL types. So I thought this year I’ll go down Aberystwyth sale. I’ll be on the look out for a...

Thanks @bobthebeef, where did you get your tups and how did the lambs turn out compared to your aberfield lambs?

Yes thanks the easy fan could be an option although I don’t know a lot about them if I’m honest, can anyone shed any light on them please?

They have probably improve since I had them but I could never go back and plus I’d like an ewe / lambs with a white head

Thanks @neilo, sounds like what I’m looking for, we are at 1000 foot and the aberfield do well here with a little cake at lambing just looking to up the lambing % with something hardier.
