Don’t mess about. Get a high hdf compound that’s better balanced and safe to feed. Might be a bit more expensive but maybe less hassle in the long run!
I wouldn’t bother with the big capital investment in slatted this that and the other. Select the right type of stock to suit the land. Away winter cows /ewes if needs be. Suckler and sheep can’t sustain big overheads. Keep it simple.
It’s a poorly administered scheme by a company called Ricardo who deliver it for Scottish Government. The idea is that a farmer can apply for funding for a range of different areas/topics they then approve the application for funding, you then select an adviser who does the work sends it to FAS...
Farming press particularly Scottish Farmer is way to SNP “friendly”. Scot Gov have NFUS dancing to their tune so Scots farming industry haven’t any defenders from these two!
the missing £61 million should give Scottish farmers a real good reason to rise up and protest. First minister and gougeon are at the nfus agm this week. Would it be bad form to start there?
Thanks. 36 inch centres. The divisions are bolted onto rails so the width could be easily adjusted but we’ve got on well with them set at 36 inch. Will stay in here until 12 months then move into slightly larger beds.
Tried it and not great. Encourages them to lay down in the muck at a later stage and harder to get to use cubicles.. Converted a small slatted shed into cubicles for 6-12 months. Used 2nd hand precast beds with new divisions and rubber mats. Just sat on top of slats. Great job for teaching them...
