well i tried straight crimped alkawheat last winter , would never give wheat to ewes and lambs normally , the ones on it finished well carefully introduced ,i did get caught with two lambs that came in late with others and had a guts full they did blow a bit and were off food for a few days,
i think they needed a bit more fibre . Treated whole barley i think will be better and intend to do 4 - 5t shortly , will dribble in a bit of wheat with it as well to keep energy up (neighbour does about 300t a year for dairy )
I think the 1t minimum order is hurting their sales , put out through mole valley or wynnstay to sell by the bag , they would sell a lot more as you could treat the odd tonne or ten as it came in . 1t is quite an investment as a new or small user .
