Anyone got any prices yet this year? Wouldn’t mind try some on a few lambs.

 

[Bill dog]

@ThatsSomeSheep should know !

 

[Stw88]

Expensive. £498 for 500ml. Be interesting to see other people’s prices so i can haggle with my vets!

 

[ford4000]

I decided not to use any this year as I wasn't selling lambs any earlier

Just paid mine. As above £360 for 500ml. Nearly £100 cheaper than last year.
Still not been able to find out why it’s only available through the vet. Farm supplies company I use are adamant it should be able to be sold freely.

I can guess why it is

 

[Stw88]

Think i need a word with my vets!!

We're $750 per 500ml so about 390 quid. But at 5ml per ewe it is cheaper to give them a drench capsule and get the drench as a bonus.

Do they still need to import it on licence from NZ?

Do you mean that you didnt see a positive difference in how your lambs did, having had it ?

Had you done some testing and established that cobalt deficiency was an issue?

 

[Downton_shep]

Just been quoted £466+vat.
That’s quite a difference compared to some of you!

Is that including selenium? We can’t get that over here
If not it’s dearer than some people over here are paying

 

[hill farmer]

paid £425 + vat for 500ml here

Yes thats including Se. A Drench capsule is only $3.50 each and gives 100 days worm control as well as Se and Co

Yes.

Blood and forage test showed low levels, not disastrously low but not what they should be

I'd say the wool looked better on them, but 2 dry years when I was using it meant lamb sales were behind compared to the normal years when I wasn't using any minerals at all. Hard to say if It's worth it

 

[Stw88]

Anyone had prices this year yet for 500ml bottles?

 

[Bob the beef]

Same price as last year £360 from vet

farm supplies company round here tried very hard to get it in from nz but we’re too late due to cv. they pretty sure they will be ok to get it next year at better money
