[QUOTE="Dealer, post: 6699586, member: 327"] Normal 6mm pellets indoors 750g to 1kg per day is what we would expect as minimum ration indoors, less if outdoors as they graze/ roam from the feeder. We don't hide this as the minimum restriction for sheep with 6mm feed A 3 mm protein balancer pellet with grain is perfect If you want to feed 3mm compound pellets they work fine Not in your area but dugdale nutrition (north of the country) make complete ewe pellets for the feeders in 3mm. In general the bigger the feed particles the wider the gap needs to be so it will flow, the more feed sticks to the tongue when they lick. Minimum gap for sheep to lick the feed is circa 8mm cattle it is 25mm. You cant get a 6mm pellets through 8 or 10mm gaps the sheep lick but it can't get through the gap then it gets wet with saliver and goes to mush. [/QUOTE]
