Have used Tithebarn's lifestart feed blocks for last 3 years with great success, but this year they haven't done the job poor quality colostrum, weakly lambs and small lambs as well. Very pale in colour and crumble and intakes were low. Contacted Tithebarn and they immediately offered £500 compensation came to see me yesterday and said no one else had complained , said what compensation I wanted and they didn't turn me down , has any one else had problems with this product this year.

We get pallets of seconds Blocks from them. Get loads like you describe. It will be a crap mix in the factory. Wrong balance of ingredients
