Obviously I'm not going on and on... But your arguement was clearly I'm paying too much for our cake.I haven't got an argument.

I listen to my mum firstly, and dad, vet, my nutritionists, our labour force and my amazing girlfriend, I do not however listen to the bull on here that's posted sometimesOccasionally listening might be considered progress
That's the thing one mans bull is another mans sense. In most things your mum will be right tho.I listen to my mum firstly, and dad, vet, my nutritionists, our labour force and my amazing girlfriend, I do not however listen to the bull on here that's posted sometimes
It's all opinions at the end of the day. I try scout for the sense posts, and there are plenty of them.That's the thing one mans bull is another mans sense. In most things your mum will be right tho.

No, you asked if it was a fair price, it might be, but you could get it for less.Obviously I'm not going on and on... But your arguement was clearly I'm paying too much for our cake.

Yep way too much by start of week will of stepped down to 11kg, every little helpsSo your averaging 13kg of hard feed?
Sounds like my current journey from feed reps to independent.No, you asked if it was a fair price, it might be, but you could get it for less.
Back in the day a great rep Don Mackey used to tell us everything that was going on all over Cheshire and beyond. Don't remember any talk of costings or nutritional advice, but he was definitely good value.
Laterly we had silage testing, nutritional advice and financial data with the feed supply, this wasn't good value.
More recently we are part of a group buy. Total purchased feed cost is about 6ppl, so I run a decent car myself instead of funding a reps car.
You not feeding any hard feed ? Do you think youll get those intakes on all bulk inputs ? V impressive if you can do it, how much grains you hoping to feed ?I’m planning next winters feeding currently just under 4ppl purchased feed mopf £220 next winter I’m planning >21kgdm average 12me which I believe should supply me m +32 or thereabouts but would be interested to hear others thoughts? This would be grass silage maize silage and brewers grains only...?
Bales?Good silage takes some beating
