Title: thinking ahead...pea straw
Post by: chickenfeed on March 14, 2012, 07:51:23 am

 :wave: we may well have a surplus of pea straw this year would anyone be interested in buying some ? baled in conventional small bales goats just love it well most livestock do  ;D.

we are in cambridgeshire and it would need to be collected straight away after bailing as we don't have the storage for ours plus. approx £2 (subject to the farmer sticking to his price)

just putting the feelers out atm to see if its worth while we have over wintered cattle, kk's, lambs & goats on last years.

We might be interested (assuming we manage to buy a couple of goats by then). Although, it might work for chickens too and we've got a lot of them already! Whereabouts in Cambs are you? We're in Willingham ~10miles north of Cambridge.

BTW there may well be some pedigree BT goats for sale once kiding is over if you are interested all from milk recorded herd with good records in the show ring all at realistic prices
