Redstart Bolus to use?

[shields kaiser]

Hi all, will be feeding Redstart Forage crop (60% DMI) and Hay (40% DMI) to outwintered heifers this October for the first time. Heifers will be spring born and around 300Kg at start.

I'm looking at Bolusses as the easiest way for me to get Vit & Min supplementation into them, and the AgriMin High Iodie Bolus seems to be the product to use looking at the spec compared with others, and especially to overcome the iodine issue with brassicas.

Anyone have any other suggestions on what has worked well, or what sort of money should I be paying for the box of 20 of Agrimin High Iodine?

Many thanks!

Pay about 64euros a box for 10 + boxes , so about 54 quid

pour diluted iodine down their backs, comes in as few pence, not sure if any bolus, has enough iodine in, to feed with brassicas. If the hfrs are i/c, iodine is an absolute must. We bolus with cattle caps, brinnicombe, slow release pellets in the water, and iodine down there backs, as calving nears.
