Think harpers may have been caught out with not buying enough forward this year. Their layers pellets have had a large price hike?
Remember they got caught out similarly several years ago.

I did think it was steep, I’ve heard they have put their feed up about £30/t in the last month. I did ask what creep was likely to do and they think it won’t go any higher, it’s £315 in totes at the minute.

Layers pellets seem to have jumped nearly £100? (Smaller quantities in small bags)
I don't use ewe nuts any more.

I’m not a big feeder, start about 10-14 days before lambing beginning of Feb and usually stop in late marich when grass growth takes off. Take it you lamb outside or feed red clover silage, I don’t find much grass in a shed. 🤣
Yea, lamb outside.
Used to lamb indoors mid March, and winter sheared. Fed quite heavy up to lambing, but not after turnout.
Upped my numbers (and breed) and switched to outdoor lambing.

I don’t like to see rape so high up there, someone along time ago said it was a very bitter tasting feed. However most feeds this year have it second on the list.
Why has Nwf lost the plot this year? They wouldn’t of got away with putting their prices up ( a month or so before lambing) if we had been dairy farmers.
