Own collection of Molasses. WM/Mid Marches??

[steveR]

I have been pricing up some protein molasses for lick feeding to a group of 20, 5/6month old AAX heifers I purchased, along with a few other hanger ons from our Coos. There is only very limited trough space in the shed, so hard feed is not an option, and 80kg protein tubs while convenient, are very expensive. Forage is good hay.

To get a sensible price, it needs a 5t minimum drop @ 18-22p/kg, and while I know the product will stop in good condition a long time, I really don't want unused IBC's of molasses hanging around until next winter. Single IBC deliveries is not an option, as it's horrendously expensive!!

I have looked around, and have found one company that allows collection but they are in Tenbury, so too far. Anyone know of a supplier 30mile radius from Telford who allows collection with my own IBC's please?

Used to be able to fill your own IBCs at Dennis Brinicombe at Welshpool, don't know if this is still the case?

Cheers. Never dealt with them, where are they actually based...?

Found 'em A call in the morning I think... see if they still do diy collections. Thinking 3 IBC's in the IW stock trailer, or maybe 4 x 600l small IBC's.

31.2 miles, so do-able

 

[steveR]

Anyone else??

There’s a few KW alternative feeds blending plants not far away from you, specifically one 15 minutes east of Tamworth

That's a fair old jag of a trip to collect from though...

I can order a bit extra if you want me too on my next order, then you can pick it up from here if you like.

Be careful 1000 ltr of straight molasses weighs 1400 kg
A blend will lighten it though

Oh yes, they are heavy brutes... I tend to put a tonne in, around 750l, to allow my little Kramer to manage easier Hence the 600l IBC's being my preferred choice.

Bit far for me at 50 odd miles.

I haven't given QLF a ring this time. I have never been able to get a competitive price from them in yonks.

Maybe worth giving them a shout again... As you say, not far at all... Tractor and Trailer range even

Been dealing with them for many years, with the odd load from other suppliers when I used a lot, for Sucklers fed on straw and molasses. 5t min again, but cheaper than other quotes this time.

Reps always seem to poo poo them! ;-)
