    Lambing ease gestation length

    I'm aware easy calving bulls have shorter gestation. Does the same hold true for easy lambing rams? My ewes are due from today (150 days since rams went in). But a large proportion of the easy care sired lambs have been born in the last 4 days. Any thoughts?

    Improving grain cooling

    Looking for ideas on how to cool grain - something we need to get better at. We currently use pedesatals, but with a shed width of 33' per side, they're a bit wide for one but too narrow for two.

    CF Fertilisers
