1 tonne tote delivered by pallet was £264-ish from ECV in late April/ early May. Price had dropped about a fiver when I ordered another one last week.

my thoughts exactly , just wondered if it was a general thing this year ? to be fair the lambs did well on it , high fibre went well with grass
Somethings definitely up and I think it's the feed!
Had a feed rep call around today with prices for winter budget on blend calf feed, £38/t up from the spring. I asked him why........ I mean how!!
That's all I'm hearing barley price is down and maize, he replied straights are still strong on the futures, I said you used that excuse last year you need a new one to get my order this year.

I think this barley and wheat could go up, I honestly don't think it's there even with the extra spring barley. Somethings amiss.

They are trying it on cause the fat price is up nothing else to it. Speaking to a driver other day and he said feed job is dead cause people have grass up to their ears
I'm pritty certain as you say @J1177 that wheat and barley will go up that's why I am keen to lock a winter price in.
I'm also convinced like @Skintagain says they are definitely taking the pi$$! Everything is up from baby calves all the way up to finished cattle so naturally costs go up!
That rep called again this afternoon so he's definitely keen to do a deal, the only thing is he's adding cheap fillers to bring the price down, to which I'm definitely not impressed with.
I gave him a lovely rendition of Tom Jones Thunderball as I walked off. Treat them mean to keep them keen!

The 150 tonnes of brewers grain I've booked might blow the wind out of his sail a bit!

That’s Carrs.
I did a wee experiment last year, crystalix against ACT labelled Downland high energy. I can’t remember exact figures but iirc ACT was 9p/head/day crystalix was 5p/head/day.
Cheap is cheap for a reason

Downland is just MAXX is it not? I've no idea ACT did anything up here, never seen a contact
Did you price 80 kilo crystalyx at Carr’s?

think I could pay someone to bag it for £35/ton could bag a lot of feed in a couple of hours. which that premium from a ton of feed would pay for.
We use it in bulk anyway, or will mix into own blends if needed.
