Planted stubble turnips, into worked land after spring oats. Would Falcon herbicide, kill off the flush, of spring oat volunteers. It states on the label, its good for barley, wheat and wild oats, but nothing nor spring oats. ?
Will the price of fertiliser put people off, growing catch crops, for store lambs this winter. Fertiliser alone will be roughly £100 a acre, plus seed and cultivations, and on top flea beetle damage ?
Plenty of fodder beet around to buy, but ive never seen stockfeed swedes for sale. Is there much of it available to purchase, and how much would it be delivered ?
Waste of time using formalin on codd, been there done that. 10 mins soak in zinc sulphate makes hell of a difference, then let them dry off, on a concrete pad.
Kepak cant be that short for hoggs. I usually get a call off them in december asking how many im willing to supply them until April/may. No calls this time round. Luckily its a sellers market now, and theres plenty of other competitors, looking for lambs.
Ordered rapid lamb finisher blown from mole valley, got the bill today for £246/ton. Last order they be having off me. Next load be coming from somewhere else, shame because its a great feed.
This hogg feeder holds 1250kg, and was £1200 from teme valley tractors in Knighton. Quality is fantastic, got one thats 7 years old, and no rust on it whatsoever. Its handy to have a axle on it, to move it onto fresh ground. And can be towed empty with a pick up.
In a space of 6 months, St Merryn have gone from the best paying per kg, to the worse. They were the ones setting the price leading the field, now they are just dragging behind, price wise.
St merryn £4.3 today, paying upto 21kg, Dunbia £4.45 paying upto 22kg. Ive never seen dunbia giving more than St merryn, hoggs hopefully getting thinner on the ground.
Ive sent rappa numerous emails in the last few weeks regarding buying extra hurdles for my set up, aint had a reply which is no surprise to me, as they are rubbish to deal with. And Prattely havent got any hurdles until spring next year. Hopfully Alligator setup might be the better option for you ?
Does anybody know where you can source 5ft hurdles from. Phoned a few companies up, and they reckon they wont have stock until april. Will the rappa hurdle fit onto a prattley hurdle ?
