Title: Rockies

Do any of you get them online at a reasonable price in bulk ? We normaly get boxes of 10
Its just the place we have been buying them have put the price up from £3.25 each the last time we bought them to £5.65 each  :o  now I know things have gone up but a £2.40 increase on one lick just seems a massive jump to me  :-\

You could try Ascotts smallholding, but their delivery charge is quite steep. I try and restrict myself to a couple of orders per year, as size doesn't matter. I buy my Rockies one at a time when needed from local agri merchants, as my GG' never eat theirs, and BT's go through them quickly... but 10 would last me a few years... (and by them be dissolved ....). Cannot remember how much they are...

Thanks , having 8 Goats and 6 of the 8 have their own pens when they are in means they all need their own Licks
