greenlands Posted October 11, 2012 Report Posted October 11, 2012 Watching the late news last night it looks like the price of most food stuff is about to rocket because of the poor harvests world wide.My local corn store will be taking a delivery today so I'm off to stock up.This I hope will see me over winter and the breeding season,first in the back of the car will be three bags of Barley,then Irish.They are expecting a 10/15% rise.Tatties in this area are £11 a 4 stone bag.

geordie1234 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 looks a great feed but far too much sheckles
greenlands Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Posted October 19, 2012 looks a great feed but far too much shecklesI'm using Gem Irish @ £14 and Gem Barley @ £7:80 both 25 Kg.
geordie1234 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 I'm using Gem Irish @ £14 and Gem Barley @ £7:80 both 25 Kg. Seems decent I would like to try Gem how you find it?
Rooster J. Cogburn Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 Seems decent I would like to try Gem how you find it? They've started to sell it at Coxydene George.Think its still around £3 a bag dearer than your Versele Best All Round. I've not used it but was asked by a friend to get feeding when I was up.He asked for two bags of Irish mix.I forgot to ask him what brand he wanted so I got him a bag of Gem and bag of Versele Laga.I asked him the following week which was better and he reckons the maize and peas in the Versele are far superior to the Gem. Down to opinion I suppose and there is only 50p between them
geordie1234 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 Dae ye hink irish mix is a gd mix period?
Guest geordiejen Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 any excuse to put prices up i think.
Rooster J. Cogburn Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 Its a popular mixture I think. Dari 6.5%, Dun Peas 4.5%, Yellow Peas 6.5%, Maple Peas 44%, Extra Plate Maize 24%, Milo 4.5% Theres the breakdown of the the Versele Laga one.I'm sure your Gem,Bucktons etc will be pretty similar
