Well that brings you to £140 anyway with their haulage. So I'm not that much over really. Stuff I got is from a dealer, we collect from his yard, but the barley came from Perth, so there's haulage on it anyway.

£8/t is better in your pocket than theirs!

Would oats and soya be adequate for inlambers?

Did you do it and how much £/t for the soya

 

[aled1590]

Yes feeding it now, ewes doing well on it and milking well. I buy 1T at a time in totes, 375/t.
It would be 353 if i ordered 4t+ Bulk. I mix around 80/20 oats soya with minerals and molasses

 

[gwi1890]

£64 premium for totes - that's taking the mickey.

I get for farmers rolls in 25kg bags at £239 per tone

 

[Hampton]

8t hypro soya in bulk, £302/t. Price can be locked into for six months. (On same day I sold OSR spot for £308.50/t)
Shocked by the price, I've been buying it in totes for last few months for £353/t

Anybody had prices for new season sugar beet? Quoted £159 for delivery to Carlisle area, superflow, which seems a bit steep I thought.

Full artic loads? Haven't got one to hand but FG was listing new season British about £148/t assume that averages out the different specs, but there is only £3/t between supaflow and maxibeet.

I think new season only starts delivering in the next week, so yours would be old season and hence higher price. Just had the same quote form another firm. can get that price flat rate right through. Great feed, just too dam dear this last few years.

Any one been quoted for 'Proflo Syrup' this year seems to have gone up £10 a ton

I know this is from Trident but i purchased last years loads from for farmers same product but different name.

A year or two ago,there was a farming family selling feed,mixing their own.Big grain growers,and said they bought store cattle and lambs to fatten out of Hexham.They advertised in the Darlington paper,but were maybe south from you.Northallerton or Thirsk area i think.It was interesting talking to him,he said there were some ingredients they would never use for fattening like oatfeed/wheatfeed etc,and explained the difference between the big compounders manufacturing down to a certain price/spec,and themselves only using raw ingredients that would do the job properly.

I had 5t of 19% ewe rolls delivered in bulk last week, ready to start trickling into the early lambers. £6/t up on last year IIRC (I’ll have to check the ticket for the price, as memory is failing at this time of night).
