[QUOTE="neilo, post: 7967918, member: 348"] If you are going to bring them indoors for lambing, presumably on concentrates and bales, then it would be worth giving them a bit before housing to transition the rumen, otherwise it will be a drastic diet change at the worst possible time. If lambing outdoors on grass, I'd not look at a cake bag. That looks like a fantastic crop to me, which will provide every bit as much nutrition as any concentrate, so you would just be replacing it, not supplementing. Unless it suddenly turns very cold, that crop will start to grow soon (if it hasn't already), so you'll not be short. By March it'll often will be growing so fast that you'll struggle to keep on top of it IME. Loose minerals in a bucket sat in a tyre will provide anything that you'll not be giving in a cake bag.
