[QUOTE="neilo, post: 6491794, member: 348"] I’ve never fed hay or straw in a ring feeder to lambs on roots, it’s just diluting the nutritional value, as well as requiring a tractor to go in and cause compaction round the feeding area. I was tempted to feed a ‘sprinkle of cake’ last year and even enquired about Hogg feeders, but then I had them over the scales and came to my senses. KISS, always. You only need extra feed if you have too many animals for the available/utilisable crop, or the genetics/health of the lambs is poor. [/QUOTE]
