I was thinking about this because we seemed to use a lot of it then and stock did better on it. I can remember they started doing something different in the process which meant it had less left in it.We always had 20t as soon as the new season crop started. Then another 20t January ish. In those big paper sacks and always shreds. Grandad fed all those old broker hill ewes right through from tupping to lambing on nothing else. Finishing hoggs just got beet pulp, drop the paper sacks in the hay racks and cut a few holes in the sack. I can remember it being £60/t when I were a little nipper. And it had way more feed value to it then.
The price altered too they got wise and Trident started storing it instead of just getting shot of it they trickled it out over the year.
