Maize spot £230 delivered, barley £175, soya £440ish, sugar beet god knows don’t think you can get it. If you can fix a price do it There’s some big price jumps on their way..

Plus a couple of range rovers for feed mill lol

If nwf keep putting there prices up, l, ll just get Davidsons again, as it a good feed.

Nwf fairly sh!t on there own bonfire if you ask me this year... they was always the best value for money in my opinion but now they’ve ramped up there prices for a product that isn’t anywhere near as close too the competition... £6 more a ton and for HJ LEA oaks stuff and it’s way better

They sure have, I’ve been paying £249 for a 16% Beef nut over winter in bulk.

We just use it for creep feeding the summer calves not yet weaned. Need to get organised, wean and sell. Can’t be much profit in.

That’s what Nwf do it really peas me off. One of the the reasons I changed from them last year. Gone with Davidsons this time as they said price fixed till the first of May

Hello folks, what is prices are people seeing with Lamb creep pellets at the moment ?

[Greythundercloudys]

Got a letter from nwf explaining why there putting another 20£ on a ton from Monday, 300£ ewe cake next spring, between that and fertiliser any extra you get for stock or milk is all away.

The feed merchants reckoned they’ve been subjected to 40 odd pounds per tonne raw material input rise and apparently after the price rises in May there’s more to come

Unless it was a typo on a price report I was amazed to see palm kernel is in the £290’s until later in the year. That’s doubled in price and compounders use endless for ruminant rations. It must be a freight issue I assume

When I worked in a blending plant very few of the rations had palm kernal, I wouldn’t have used more than a few artics in the 2 years I was there compared to over an artic a day of Soya Hipro and Rapemeal

I was talking to a rep for one firm and an agent who buys off different firms they both told me this week on separate occasions that the raw material inputs have gone up over £40.
Neither have anything to do with each other as far as I know
I was more thinking along the lines of what were they making as a margin out of it before this happened

Iirc the highest I ever saw palm kernal as an inclusion in a ration was 5%, but as I said above it was the rarest product I used, I’m sure I went through more bagged minerals a month than PK.

It isn’t used in blends as it is lumpy and pretty unpalatable, they pick round and leave it. But finely ground and mixed within a pellet or nut believe me they use a lot

Fair enough It was the finest product I’d ever seen, pick that up with the bucket and that part of the shed would disappear for half an hour extremely heavy too

If sheep and beef were a poor price l dought those feed companies would have those prices, they want a slice of the cake, its not as if every sheep man's been getn 120 a head for lmbs, the breeders get around half that.
