    I saw someone put the whole mixture together over night so the pellets would break down in the tmr. That was to stop the ewes picking out the good stuff. But that of course means you have your mixer loaded and you are unable to use for other animals . Your Mom would have been very very proud .

    I would defo up the molasses, the strong ewes will learn to keep foraging for all the cake n the rest will get nothing, big fan of making sure they get the cake they need evenly but won’t happen in that system without the feeding space, seems like lots of problems with the indoor lambing this season but I’m sure you watch what I watch on here and you’ll be aware. Love watching you.

    Impressive Shed really is and credited to you the ewes look in big felt. The one thing I would say is we laid 400 ewe inside last year on a TMR thought it was good but the only thing we found was there were ferreted the Nut out off the silage and just leaving the silage if that makes sense we have gone onto a Meal this time and finding it a lot better Hope this helps

  • @bryanrobertson3068
    @bryanrobertson3068 5 місяців тому +2

    Just watched the video Nicola.A grest setup. Perhaps a little water poured over the nuts in the loader bucket before adding to the mix would help to break them down. Also dividing the molasses cube in 10cm marks vertically with a black marker makes it easy to empty 100 ltres at a time. All the best to you.

    ? Did you discuss adding moisture in the mixer with the nutritionist? Can easily be done with a low-flow fine spray shower-head and a stopwatch. With the added molasses you'd not want it too wet but un-drying the silage is a good idea - dry air is gonna take moisture out in the mixer.

    @jonathans1955 5 місяців тому +2

    You have done a great job with getting the shed sheepshape..😂
    your mum would be proud of you.❤
    Does the mixer get rid of the pellets uniformly throughout the discharge, or do they tend to come out more towards the end of the batch?

    Brilliant video again keep them up. Also lambing for the first time in my new shed so trying to work things our at the moment. Only thing with the TMR for them all is the triples aren't getting any extra maybe could feed the twins single first then put a couple bags more cake in?

    • @LivestockfarmHER2
      @LivestockfarmHER2  5 місяців тому

      Thank you and hope you’re indoor lambing goes well to.
      These ewes are in fairly good nick so don’t want to be over doing the triplets and cause more problems with prolapses etc, thankfully so far all okay!

  • @shanecroke7682
    @shanecroke7682 5 місяців тому +5

    Great job. Some set up. Will the ewes not pick out the nuts? A friend of mine mixes the silage the night before and the nuts break down to stop them picking out the nuts. Ur mum is watching over it all and is smiling down. Chin up and stay strong 🫂 ur doing great

    • @ritahawkins2336
      @ritahawkins2336 5 місяців тому

      Seems to me, the first to feed will indeed sort through and pick out the majority of the pellets, and those not first to the trough will indeed get less nutrition in their portion.

    • @LivestockfarmHER2
      @LivestockfarmHER2  5 місяців тому

      So far no picking, the molasses in the mix helps soften the pellets making it harder to pick out.

  • @Andy-ix2ox
    @Andy-ix2ox 5 місяців тому +1

    Just wondering if you might be better off feeding a munch rather than a pellet when you are a bit tight on feed space, we feed our ewes a tmr and we found that they would root trough it and pick out the pellets but when we changed to a mix of ground maize , soya bean meal, soya hulls and a bit of barley with mins ang molasses they hadn’t the same ability to pick trough it so the weaker ones that didn’t get to the feed first were fine they got the same as the ones that were more dominant. Just something to keep an eye on.
