3 in 1 feeders

Westernrock · 2017-08-04 21:00:05

Anyone having any difficulty getting one? Contacted the agent first in April, was told then it would be a month, latest I was told at the start of July they would be here in a fortnight, now can't get them on the phone atal.... How does anyone that has one find it and is there any other type of feeder you would recommend?…

If using oats in the feeder, what does everyone do for minerals and vitamins that you would usually get from using a nut or a ration?

PS I’m going to mix in soya bean meal with the oats from about 3 weeks out from lambing

I dont have one of these feeders but I've been mixing oats with pellets for feeding with the past few weeks.i mix 2:1 pelleys:oats. Found with just pellets ewes were leaving them behind but they seem to be mopping up the mixture. How do you find the soya?. I know a neighbour feeds that and reckons its great gear. I might look at adding that too.

Hi All, how is everyone finding the feeders? I have switched over to include nuts now (5mm nut) anyone any idea what is the best setting to have ewes consuming 0.6kgs a day?
