Can anyone tell me the ball park figure for cattle cake? 16 / 18% nuts to balance hay / silage I'm searching for a price +- 10 to 15% a real ball park figure. Now if I had some cattle of my own.....

It’s bonkers, £100 spread, same as fertiliser, dropped like a stone, but feed not done likewise.

What cake are you getting for £285? Our no soya 16% is 365 now. Will shortly go to 14% which will knock another 10-15 quid off and 10 quid more in April so down to £340 but that is cheap.

16% probaby £350/t ish , 18% closer to £380ish but it would depend on load size and how often you bought. Bigger drops equals cheaper price give or take £20/t

We’d be roughly £290/US ton for 18% commodity blend in the US.

To be fair, I've the spec and it's not the worse we've ever fed. Barley, pke, wheat feed, distillers and rape meal. Minerals and mag.

With the exception of pke we’ve got the rest in our cake…just with a few other things higher up. But there’s obviously a big difference in price

You'll be surely on 24t artic drops for that price?

Spot or contract?

Looking at options for summer and winter...

Do you mind me asking who from? Do you just ask for the cheapest 16% cake?

I don’t buy any cake, only straights and mix myself.
Rape cake is 318£/ton in full 36 ton loads right now. Got a price yesterday. After august about 295 right now.

So over 300 for a 16% cake sounds like a lot?

Just a few month ago it was way worse.
