Do you find there hard on there teeth?View attachment 989029sheep fight over these. No buckets to blow around...about £12 each.
Very hard on teeth from what I've seen, I was recently checking mouths of ewes for selling for somebody that feeds similar looking blocks, Even ewes at 4/5 years old had teeth worn all the way down to the gums. Only thing is, I suppose teeth wearing down evenly, even if all the way down to the gum, is still easier on the ewe than having long loose teeth or gaps.Do you find there hard on there teeth?
