Do have a bunch of Whiltshire horn x texel about. They were run with easy care and exlana rams this year. So I suppose we are slowly going to the white faces.
A sufolk x is like a Fendt. Has a good resale value at the end. Even if the vario is close to giving out!
In my sheep farming days, I always found the Suffolk to have the best growth rates .
I'm going to put in a trough in this shed as I'm finding that I have to go back out at night to push it again. The last one cost me 100 euros a span in materials. What's the handiest way of way of making a timber trough?

How are you going to get the silage in over that Peter, Diet feeder ? What if you had to clean away stuff are you not restricting yourself alot ?
Could you make that removable for cleaning away waste?
Have you access to the back of the pens to let cattle in and out of the pens or have you to take down the troughs.

The store cattle are getting a mix of pit silage along with a few kgs of wholecrop barley mixed through it. Its lasting very well considering that theres no ration been used. How is silage stocks lasting around the country?
