So does that mean we can add a sum of our choosing for "increased energy and fertiliser costs" to anything we sell, after the contract?Was initially £235, £5 added on for "increased transport and energy costs".

What’s in it
If that’s just normal soya and not high pro, which I’m guessing it is to be that high up the list, you’ve got the soya with hulls blended back in, then some extra soya hills, and some sugar beet. Oats as one of the main energy sources, you certainty not short on fibre in that ration.This what I'm feeding this year, €348/t . It always surprises me the amount of fillers go into some of the rations posted on here considering the amount of grain grown in the uk
I was told it is 15% soya and I suppose the rest are in desending orderIf that’s just normal soya and not high pro, which I’m guessing it is to be that high up the list, you’ve got the soya with hulls blended back in, then some extra soya hills, and some sugar beet.

Ours usually get the Carrs mid range nut. Our rep says the top range one is for fancy folk who like too pay more without actually getting any better value. He thinks they should just sell the mid range as their only ewe and lamb nut.Just ordered carrs mid roll 18% for 317 4.5 tonne bulk blown, (top roll is 19% seemed excessive rep did not recommend it for my stock)
swapped from Jameson’s ewedale gold who were 315,
sure you big buyers should be able to hammer them prices a fair bit over a season?
from what I can make (simple farmer type) out the carrs looked to be a slightly better roll (higher energy from ingredients if I understand it correctly) we will see how they go, sheep seem to like them better
Davidson’s must be saving on the soyaWhats folks opinion on this? Last year this ration had some soya in but this year it hasnt. Just feeding hill ewes scanning 145-160%View attachment 1015355

Saving it for the Super EweDavidson’s must be saving on the soya
Do you think this is a push back against rainforest products imported from the tropics, plain economics or a bit of both?Davidson’s must be saving on the soya
Same problem here things have really changedNormally jump to the ewelac rolls once we get nearer lambing. First morning out with the snacker, would have liked to hang off another week but this weather is going to start to take its toll.
No idea it’s usually money that decides what goes into a ration at what orderDo you think this is a push back against rainforest products imported from the tropics, plain economics or a bit of both?
Mainly proteinI've seen sunflower seed meal in a few ingredient list recently, what does it provide?
How does it compare to soya?Mainly protein
30 odd percent protein if I remember right a bit of sugar and starch not much of eitherHow does it compare to soya?
