Lambs are great,get them!!!!  They'll come with tags (get some) and should have had their injections for BT et al by the time they rock up to your gate. You have a cheptel number I assume,(get some) so will get any notification from the vet of what injections are needed and when. I'm so glad I got a ewe with two lambs at foot (get some) .Unfortunately one was a ram and is destined for colder climes in two weeks time.......Ree


PS. Do subliminal messages really work?

Mmmm the jury is still out on this one, am worried about the cost of these new tags.  Do you know anything about them?

[shetlandpaul]

they are under two quid but the sites i have been on sell them in 50s. there is bound to be a supplyer who will do smaller amounts. it seems you only now need the tag and not the reader. which shows for stock care they are a waste of time.

[Hilarysmum]

So which brainy brussels magnate thought up this one then?  Perhaps he has shares in a certain tag company.

Hi
I go to the mill that supplies my local store.I pay £5.64 for a 25kg bag, my local store was selling the same bag for £8.68.  Well worth looking into cutting out the middle man, it's the only way to make any real profits.  Good luck.

If you can get together with other pig keepers and buy by the tonne it should be even cheaper.

I feed my pigs organic pig pellets which are €15.50 for a 25kg bag!  A friend of mine who also has weaners is feeding his the same organic pig pellets as I do but he has started adding rolled barley and some maize - one third of each.  One of the fellas in the agri shop told me that maize gives the fat a yellow colour so I don't think Ill give mine any.  Anyone know about the rolled barley?  Is that okay to give to them?  I also get fruit & veg from our local shop a few times a week but as the pigs are getting older they are getting more expensive to feed!! 

Are the rest of ye not feeding organic feed to your pigs?  Would love to know this as I think I might not go with the organic feed next year.  I am also getting turkeys in a few days (like the pigs, for our own use only) and again not sure whether to go down the organic route or not.

why if your feeding organic feed at twice the cost why are you then feeding non organic veg.
