Feed specialists Rumenco are supporting the Pink Ribbon Foundation and raising funds for Breast Cancer Awareness.
Their signature red buckets associated with Lifeline Lamb & Ewe will be going pink for a limited time, and for every bucket sold, Rumenco will be making a donation to Breast Cancer Awareness.
Rumenco say Lifeline Lamb & Ewe is the UK’s number one pre-lambing feed and mineral bucket, specifically designed to benefit both ewe and unborn lamb and is the only sheep supplement proved by Scotland’s Rural College SRUC to increase the quality of colostrum.
The product is best fed six weeks pre-lambing for best results.
A spokesperson explained: "Why support Breast Cancer Awareness? Simple; it’s a cause very close to our hearts, and with more than 55,000 people diagnosed in the UK every year, it’s touched people throughout our business.
"Here we will touch on a couple to showcase the positive work that Breast Cancer Awareness undertakes, and the importance of regular screening and early detection.
Jo Calcott, Commercial Coordinator, added: ‘I owe so much to the regular screening the NHS conducts. I had no concerns, had felt no lumps or thought that I could be at risk, but a routine mammogram detected something – something I’d never heard of. Calcium crystals.
"Often calcifications are benign, but a cluster of them in one area can be a sign of pre-cancerous changes or even early-stage breast cancer. Cancer cells can attach to these deposits, and are often the earliest detectable signs that treatment is required."
Amy Wright, Product Manager, said: ‘My mum is a proud breast cancer survivor, and I’m delighted that Rumenco is supporting such an important cause. Breast cancer affects so many people, and raising awareness is vital to early detection.
"A diagnosis is always a scary time, but the earlier cancer is detected, the better the prognosis for the longer term. We are very grateful for the treatment that saved her life and helped her to win her battle."
Lifeline Lamb & Ewe will be available in the eye-catching pink buckets from October all the way through to lambing in the spring, with Rumenco promising to donate up to £20,000 over the course of the campaign.
Be sure to look out for the change to the distinctive colour of our buckets and do your bit to support such a worthy and wide-reaching cause.
