James is spot on, not always the most organised but as straight as they come

Exactly, though I'm not sure if that makes us both right or both wrong

Absolutely, blocks are only out for 8 weeks to help utilise old pp at tupping. All Te supplied by bolus/injection. At usage rates could argue the licks aren't necessary, but at around £1.40/had not really worth cutting out

Yeah that's what I was wondering, I get through,on average one pallet of rumenco max, download supalyix type this year costing around £1000/t. Often have enough left for triplets at lambing,in fact still have two left from last year. At 0.2l per day they will be using over one ibc per week so...

12 months
