Mineral blocks the sheep didn’t eat

Cocci buckets for lambs
Every year I have to dose my lambs for cocci so I was wondering if the brinnicombe buckets would be worth a try instead. Has anyone used them rather than relying on vecoxan?

Twin lamb in Welshies
Having a bit of bother in the draft welsh ewes, they are now in side, on cake (rolled barley protein mix) plus hay. They receive a bit less cake than the commercial ewes but just seem gormless. Am I missing a trick with this breed / draft ewes? Cheers.- Durham part-timer
