Apologies, I was supposed to post this the other day! This is £324 a ton. Again to mix half and half with cereals. We alter the amounts a bit. More protein for younger cattle and drop it off for fattening. Feed stirks, store cattle, fat cattle and lambs with it. Keeps it Nice and simpleHow much cheaper is the blend that nuts same (ish) ticket?
Nice to see maize at top of ticketApologies, I was supposed to post this the other day! This is £324 a ton. Again to mix half and half with cereals. We alter the amounts a bit.

Im using it this year (the 19%) Seems ok so farDoes anyone have any thoughts on For Farmers Ewbol ns 18 ewe rolls?
They seem significantly cheaper than competitor feeds, quoted £325 for 18T tipped, and just checking the grub was decent?
If money were no object I'd be feeding some sort of home mix so I knew exactly what went into it, so it was "all killer no filler!"
20kg??Went into wynnstay yesterday to get some hep p , most of the bagged feed they had on display was £8.50ish a bag , inc the 18% Tamar coarse calf mix i use to start lambs on ,( MVF is £14.50 )But i have to say the spec of the 18% lamb pellets wasnt that good, a lot of wheat feed / rape , horses for courses but thought was competitive for bagged feed ,
Barley, maize distillers, sbp, soya molassesNot just Hill ground, but open to all, just for a bit of fun
So what would be the best home mix, ?
And what livestock would it be fed to ?
And why ?
Assuming you have plenty of storage bays/space for straights needed in the mix,
And a good set up to mix, handle and store finished product
When I got my first sheep and feeding them in troughs was an option, I used to by ton bags of barley or oats from an arable farm I worked on, and soya from a dairy farm I fed on at the weekends. Bit of free access mins in with that, I think was probably the best feed I ever gave my ewes.Not just Hill ground, but open to all, just for a bit of fun

You could cut down to 10% Soya and 10% Maize Distillers.I like a bit of a game so here gos
Lambing ewe mix
Hi pro soya, barley, barley, oats or sbp, maize Of some sort Ground or Cooked or distillers + minerals. 4 ingredients all at 20% inclusion (barley in twice so 40%). That’s what I’d go for. Interestingly if you bought the ingredients in bulk you wouldn’t be far off £250 a ton for that mix!!
Be interesting to get a price for something like that off a mill to be delivered in pellets or rolls
Would it keep the protein high enough? Probably not far off.You could cut down to 10% Soya and 10% Maize Distillers.
Think that would be to high in protein that mix, you need to cut the soya at least,I like a bit of a game so here gos

Good job I’m not a nutritionist thenThink that would be to high in protein that mix, you need to cut the soya at least,
Protein needs carbohydrates to digest, if low on carbohydrates then it will burn fat and make them skinny
