Molases

[Wood field]

Asking the supplier if other customers have experienced any problems won’t tell you much.
This is the same company that had a problem with buckets when they changed the base to maize, but wouldn’t admit it was a problem initially. EVERYONE had a problem with massively increased intakes.

That’s it in a nutshell, I’ve been told “ we make thousands of liquids, but I am the only one who has a problem “
I changed ibc’s for 3 that had only ever had distilled water in, they were clean and dry , filled two with molasses no problem, following year ( this year) I rinsed the ibc and we used two for water ( for mobile dipper)!
Again drained and empty then put back on stand and filled with molasses, no problem until it’s decanted !
Bloody strange do!

Back in the day we used to buy a blend for our pork pigs. We were sure they were always swapping ingridients or ratios of them but the firm denied it but with the pigs you could tell. In the end we started feeding our own ration.

I had this conversation yesterday. Buying blend blown is handy but to feed cattle on it’s got far too dear.
