He reckoned it might be alright in winter. But he had 20t in the summer and it went off way way too fast. He’s feeding 440 all the time so he’d use it fairly quick

There's a thread on here if you search for it.

Possibly? but they can only feed what gets sent to them. I can only talk from experience of feeding my own stock on their food.

Apologies if this is a daft question, but what’s the difference between a feed block and an energy block?
Prefer Harbro forage booster but sometime take crystalix here. Wondering if there’s better options out there? Been a tough winter on the breeding ewes and keen to keep condition on them.
