"Having seen the results at minus 5 degrees, I was able to sleep soundly knowing that I wouldn’t have to get up in the middle of the night if a cold snap was coming”

 

Kim Henderson, Grogansworth, Bowning NSW  

 

After years of drought we went into a period of unprecedented 'wet'. We were aproaching shearing and it was weather in which you could lose a lot of sheep.  We were discussing this with a client who recommended to us we use Thermoskin, as he said it was one of the best products he had ever used.  We did this on 1500 stud ewes and after seeing the results for ourselves then decided to Thermoskin another 1500 commercial ewes that we had originally not intended doing.  We also found that despite the terrible weather, our instance of preg tox was also reduced by the use of Thermoskin with the ewes returning to the paddock so much happier.

Thermoskin saved us a lot of time and a lot of worry.


Andrew and Max Rayner, Grathlyn, Mudgee NSW


"Very efficient way to keep warm - one growers response "I normally lose 3-4% of my 5,000 stock from cold snaps, after using Thermoskin, I only lost one”
