We have formed a relationship with the Jigsaw Buying group to enable customers to source cheaper feed. The group bulk buys inputs, mainly feedstuffs and passes the savings on to it’s members. There is no membership fee, and the feed is all of a very high quality and regularly tested recognised trading companies. If you are interested, please call the cara office 01570 471516.

Typical savings of £20-30 per tonne possible on concentrates.

Grass quality and weather conditions are not aiding milk production at present. Many producers are seeing fairly mature swards, with cows struggling to get intake due to wet weather. It is vital to provided a buffer to cows to enable milk production to be maintained. It is also likely to be of benefit to increase concentrate protein levels also to aid fibre digestion. Maize Gluten or a distillers product fed on top of silage will be of real benefit in maximsing milk production.
