Or you could try Mag Ox which is higher grade. I got mine from Jackie Taylor who posts on here. (But not trying to take business away from Diane either, as I know she provides a really good service from her shop).

Aww, thanks Casper.
Mag Ox is apparently 90% magnesium whereas Calmag is 50% (so my agri merchant found out when this loony woman went in and asked him to find out about it and source it - that'd be me then ;D ) Apart from that, the only difference is that Mag Ox is about 6 times the price. Jackie will be able to explain more though as she is excellent at this.
I'm not really expecting to post Calmag (although I will if asked) but it is because we have so many customers wanting it that I have sourced it. I'll repackage into smaller quantities.

Your nearest stockist that I know of would be Harbro Ltd at Howden near Goole. They did me a 25kg sack for £12 last year. CWG are a bit cheaper but the nearest depot to you would be at Worksop in North Notts.
There are probably other sources, agricultural feed merchants should stock it as a cattle supplement and it's known as milled magnesite or calcined magnesite.

I get mine from Harbro but be warned it isn't in a powder form as such. More like a grit! I just add a bit more than needed to their feeds as I know they are going to leave some in the bottom!

I tried adding it to boiling water to see if it would disolve, but it doesn't.... but good idea to add a tad more....

If you can find someone to share a sack with it is still a good price to get it delivered from Harbro Teeni. I think I pay about £30 for a 20kg sack. I have half and a friend the other half and I suppose we get one every six months.
We both have two horses/ponies on it BTW.

Is that for Calmag or MagOx? That's a huge price if it's CalMag

The expense will be in the delivery charge

Yeah it's the delivery cost that more than doubles the price Diane. Sadly the courrier charges are about £15! If only we had a supplier down south!!!
