Can anyone advise a good place to have sections of soil tested, and what is the cost?  I have lost more than enough sheep this year and am concerned that in two cases in the same field, PMs showed excess copper (although this wasn't the only issue).
1 horse, 2 ponies, 4 dogs, 2 Kune Kunes, a variety of sheep

I'd like to know of an economic place to get soil analysis for crop gowing. In your case since the issue is livestock I'd ask your vet to call the DEFRA central vet labs at weybridge who are bound to be doing the analysis you want.
