[QUOTE="neilo, post: 7876177, member: 348"] I've a couple of hundred in the shed now, and they're certainly glad to be in. Everything out in the fields is spending much of their time with their backs up under the hedges, so won't be putting on weight. I did put a hopper out in the field to these, before it came cold/wet, and they were hardly putting anything on once the grass was gone. I did only lose one though, as they transitioned to concentrates more slowly. Since they came in, intakes have increased and they are motoring again. They do a hell of a lot better in a shed IMO, but obviously at a cost. [/QUOTE]
