I was thinking about this because we seemed to use a lot of it then and stock did better on it. I can remember they started doing something different in the process which meant it had less left in it.
SBP can’t be beaten for stock, used to get 10t at a time blown in….just too expensive now
The last I bought was years ago think it was £200 a tonne tipped for an artic load probably 12 years ago cake wasn’t much more I decided I wasn’t having any more too dear.
Same here, the spring that keeps on giving!!
Always the shreds here. Big rectangular slabs in paper bags.
Must of had about 15t in small bags this year.was cheaper than getting it blown in.
We used to get 2 x 10 ton in paper bags but ours were in 40kg,all to handball off. Bit of an art form balancing them on your shoulder into the meal house. The first loads out in the Autumn were often still warm from the factory
Yep, not heavy so much as awkward. Getting them into the alvan blanch mixer was an art in itself.
They used to come up on the train,hand balled out of the railway wagons onto the lorry and then handballed off the lorry into the shed. Kept you fit!!
Jesus
6 bags in the old Vicon varispreader.
Then you could get an extension so that it would hold a 500kg big bag when they first came out.My mum used to do all spreading at home. Land drive spreader. 10 tonne brought up for her when she had run out of the last 10 tonne sat on an old wagon bale trailer. She said she had a 6 pack at 186 bags in the old Vicon varispreader.
£395/t
It'll help with the tax bill with all the money you've made on feeding ewe's and Hogg's!Only wanted a tonne of pellets to get them started at the creeps
