    Dogs on quads

    My suggestion Get a group of sheep a short distance away and set up a task the dogs will love doing. Take them on the quad to do this task and repeat until they associate the quad with good times.

    Ad lib brewers grains feeder

    Make a bunker type trough thats bigger than your loader bucket with feed barrier at the front, and keep pushing the grains forward with the loader every now and then. BG will not flow in any circumstances

    Bread

    Didn’t ask the price as not a customer atm I would have thought £170 was on the high side. Bread 66 % dm Wheat 86% dm. Feed wheat £165 ish ? bread slightly higher protein and doesn’t need milling but spring is around the corner and they need to find homes for the bread. No saving against Wheat...
