[QUOTE="Troward, post: 8599724, member: 162391"] Always used to use buckets when lambing indoors, but tempted to go with none this year (we now lamb outside)....may bottle it in the last few weeks and buy some for triplets and those in poor nick. Not sure about lifeline vs other buckets. As far as I can tell, crystalyx, maxx and optilix are all very similar. Vs those brands, I don't think Lifeline has any urea, and is made softer so should have higher intakes around lambing time....however, I've left one out with the rams as they came back from tupping in back nick. Intake has been ridiculously low and barely touched it (despite having very poor forage in front of them). I think someone else on here made similar comments about lifeline recently. I'm not sure if lifeline has any mag? Ive had identical rehearsed comments from both internal and external sales reps about how lifeline made "easy, slippery lambs" vs other brands....obviously with little to back it up other than anecdotes 😅 [/QUOTE]
