Hello  :wave: I have for sheep (no lambs) should I put licks in my field for them now & what would be best to use now & through the winter.

Thank you in advance for any help ????

It depends on your ground.

Rock salt - big chunks of salt, usually red in colour but can be white or grey - are generally useful for sheep over the summer.  Otherwise ask your nearby farmers and sheepkeepers what is needed on your ground, or your local agri store (although they will of course sell you something even if nothing is really needed ;))
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing
