I wasn't much help as my girls were so fussy and were over 2 months into kidding and I didn't really want to force them into something new - saying that when kidding is over and they are back on track I will be trying again as it in their best interest - thanks for all you hard work Wytsend

Hopefully, lots of goat owners will buy it!!

Please can I ask all of you to bring these minerals to the attention of any goatkeepers you know who are not on this forum..... there must be a lot.   
There are a huge number of owners who are not members of any clubs etc and probably would not see the adverts when they are published.

Also I would appreciate details,  name/phone no... of any commercial units you know about.  Doesn't matter what their product/s are,  at least this way I can contact them and give them all the details of how their goats could potentially benefit.

Even meat producers are reporting better growth rates.

Thanks for any help..... you will be benefiting the goats.

Hi Guys,

Good News !!!!   The pricing structure for mineral tubs has been set  and it is VERY reasonable particularly given the benefits.

1 x 5kg tub inc delivery  ..... £24.50

1 x 10kg tub inc del.  .....      £42.50

The best deal for people with up to 10 goats is clearly the 10kg tub.   

 Just ring Kym at Brinicombes to place your order  ..... you will be the first to get it then .....   on   01363 775115.

Kym will be contacting everybody who has a sample but as she is a very busy person, it may take a few days to go thro' the list.....   so get in ahead !

As before, any questions do ring me on 01647 231456 and I will do my best to answer them.

maybe you could get a little write up in the BGS magazine,  that would definetly get to a lot of goat owners  :goat:.

Thank you so much..... article & advert will be going in as many Club mags & BGS journal as possible.

We need to keep the cost as low as we can at the outset for the advertising budget     so please, please spread the word !!

Do we need to ring to order some, as I haven't heard anything?
I thought Kim was going to contact those who had given details, I don't mind but don't want to appear impatient!

Just placed my order!!!  Now, shall I run out and tell the girls it should be here by the end of next week or shall I leave it as a surprise?

So glad I found this forum, I've learnt a lot from reading other posts and am especially pleased to have been able to test these minerals.  Thank you to everyone involved!

That's brilliant everybody. 
Appreciate we all have different methods of budgeting..... in a lot of cases, our animals are the reason why we have to work !!!!!!!!!
Just give me the heads up when you order..... gives me an idea of how many tubs are flying out the door,  I will get a spread sheet eventually but nice to know a bit sooner.

Post by: wytsend on January 25, 2012, 12:41:36 pm
Letters & emails have been sent out by The Brinicombe Group to everybody who had samples.

Apologies to anybody who has already ordered if you get one, but very difficult to extract names.

Send in your orders asap to get your minerals quickly..... shout about it to all your goatkeeping friends,  We know a number of people have already done so... thank you so much for doing this,   adverts will start to appear  soon.

It really gets exciting now..... our girls will really get the best thing since sliced bread !!!!!.
