    Sheep- what do folk feed when the grass runs out?

    What do folk usually feed to keep ewes ticking over before starting concentrates closer to lambing? We usually just fed a small amount of ewe rolls from end December start of January on, but the feed bill would be scary these days. Tried beet but it’s expensive now.

    Best water troughs for housed store cattle

    Having just fished out an upturned bullock out of one of our big concrete troughs I'm thinking of changing them (also not the best to clean out). What would be the best alternative, batch sizes are between 20 & 30, no bulls. Concrete or steel? Wall mounted or on floor standing?
