    Minerals for zero fed ewes

    We ran a small flock (100 ewes) of Lleyn and Lleyn x on permanent pasture ( no forage crops). What are people’s thoughts on mineral supplementation; we are iodine deficient and we do blood test, everything else ok. No hard feed, just crystalyx at critical times, tupping and lambing.

    Draft control and ploughing.

    Following on from a thread about mole ploughing, how many of you plough with draft control turned off? I’ve always ploughed with it off, not wanting to jack the plough out a bit through a tough patch just for a bit of extra grip, having a tractor properly ballasted and on top of the job.
