    I fed O Connell weanling ration last year at 200 per tonne now its gone up to 225 which I think is a bit steep Says 14% protein on the bag (but we know that paper doesn't refuse ink!!). I usually to add about 2 kg of straight soya bean meal to every bag I am feeding to weanling's under 6 months.

    180 per ton in bulk from patton feeds is what i was quoted when i put in the order. 4 ton delivered. When the rep calls to collect he normally knocks abouy 10 per ton off it.

    If it is in the bag it must be on the tag, if it is on the tag it doesn't have to be in the bag :mad:

    we are in a buying group and get the feed checked often, its a real eye opener , some of the major companies where up to 3% out with the protein of a ration.....
