What are you paying for your sheep feed. I'm paying £9.60 for a bag of coarse sheep mix thats a 20kg bag not so long ago was paying £7 odds. Just found out that Carr's sell a 25kg bag for £9.40. 
Shetland sheep, Castlemilk Moorits sheep, Hebridean sheep, Scots Grey Bantams, Scots Dumpy Bantams. Shetland Ducks.

Allen & Page smallholder sheep mix £9.20 for 20kg - 46p/kg
A&P smallholder ewe nuts £7.90 for 20kg - 40p/kg
BOCM ewe nuts £7.55 for 25kg - 30p/kg

They prefer the sheep mix but are happy with the A&P ewe nuts and a bit sniffy about the BOCM.  I'm happier with the BOCM which is 2/3rds the price!
