Post by: mattjen on March 06, 2012, 11:41:13 pm

hi all,thanks for all your help and advice so far,been trying to find a weighing tape measure but just cant seem to find any, so was just wondering does anyone know where they sell them please,was working it out last time by girth and length but i keep forgetting the formula and then losing the bits of envelope with it written on,so have decided to go for the easier option(i hope)
many many thanjks matt and jenn,xxx

I got mine from Ascott. Recently changed their web address. No idea why, but it comes on the same page as other stuff here:

http://ascott-dairy.co.uk/acatalog/Supplements_and_Herbal_Grass_Seed.html (http://ascott-dairy.co.uk/acatalog/Supplements_and_Herbal_Grass_Seed.html)

I've found mine pretty accurate - although I subtract 6kg to account for the slimmer back ends of Tamworths.
