Must be the day for it! My pallet of Opti-lixx was delivered today, too!

But mines is for pre lambing. I normally order it for Christmas delivery, but with all this lockdown/virus carry on I didn't want to leave it too late incase supply becomes an issue. I've got my molasses ordered too...

Had ours a fortnight an used a 1000ltr in just over a week, think I need to ration it a bit!! Ordered total what we had last year an pay in February, DB, thought that was alright, suits me at the minute any way! Scanned early lambers on Sunday, 185%, 5th of jan start for 650, next scan 19th nov for 440 bought in tex x ewes, be interesting to see what they do!!

I didn’t actually expect it to turn up as early, and not actually intended to be used at tupping. But a tub for each lot will make me think I’m doing my bit to help! £17.03/tub this yr. £16.85 last yr. Haven’t ordered any molasses yet !

 

[Gator]

What sort of buckets are you using @Gator? Not seen any brown 'uns round here.

.....and can I be cheeky and ask you how much a tonne?
It'll be soon time we were ordering our usual pallet.

Used um last year for the first time, happy wi um so far.
Wynnstays Gold, £17.48 a tub

Seen as the blue boys have tupped up thought id give um some more to do . Not many of the chevis wi raddle marked so they can run through them, may as well get mi money's worth while there still have four feet on the ground, not sure if the raddles crap or the tups aint workin, same stuff used on the texels and there marked so maybe chevi tups are duffers

The chevis not marked anything at all?

Theres only about half dozen i can see wi any marks on out of 80. Sorted 160 chevis, half wi the BFL and half back to the chevi, Blues are all marked up so either the chevi tups dont like the ewes i picked or the raddles not as good as it used to be.
Plenty of crayon left on the blues so we'll see how many they mark,
