[QUOTE="NFI, post: 7942995, member: 156014"] I've had this. I bought some three in one feeders a couple of years ago and wished I'd never heard of them. Couldn't stop them gorging themselves on them no matter how tight I adjusted the feeders. They were on whole barley and protein pellets. We used to use rolls with a snacker. Ultimately their BCS got too high creating too much pressure and bang. Took the feeders away and replaced with troughs and cut the feed back. Stuck the fat ones in another pen without hard feed and yes I ended up with TLD. So put in a high energy tub. That slowed them up a bit. This time the scanner says in November "they're looking well" which worried me no end. Introduced hard feed slowly in troughs in the beginning of December. Started lambing at Christmas and we've nearly finished with two prolapses ( they lambed the following day with no problems). Like everyone else is saying BCS is the key here. Everyday..... [/QUOTE]
