Title: Tubbies
Post by: Rosemary on September 10, 2009, 01:00:41 pm

I thought I should invest in a mineral lick for the ewes and rams and I'm sure someone on here recommended Tubbies. I found the website (Brinicombes) but it has no prices or stockists. Does anyone else here use them and where do you get them and how much?

Thanks

 :)hi we get ours from SAPS in stamford, oakham or melton market not sure where you are though so may be no help to you the one's my mum uses for the goats range from 20 - 26 pounds each but they do a huge range so the prices may vary even more than that.

I use Rumevite High Energy mineral licks for my flock, but they need the container to put them in and a strong man to do the job.

Your local farm feed supplier should be able to recommend a good mineral lick for your flock, almost all are sold in tubs for convenience, not sure if theirs or ours.
