[QUOTE="Nithsdale, post: 8326461, member: 17508"] What you'd save on wear/fuel/miles on the bike you will absolutely blow out on buckets.. convenience costs! This year I went back to feeding my single rearing ewes daily because it was considerably cheaper than the pallet of hi energy buckets!! Liquid feed would be scary if left adlib. Stuff I use is up to about 50p litre now... Have you considered instead of concentrates just buying the cheapest rolled grain you can and applying a liquid feed to it? (Needs to be rolled so that the grain takes the liquid feed, whole grain absorbs feck all making the job pointless IME). Still got to go round with the snacker every day, but you'll not be feeding a lot out per head. It also keeps the ewes quieter (they don't go as feral with daily interaction) which is worth the costs alone [/QUOTE]
