{"title":"Barastoc","description":"\u003cp\u003eBarastoc is one of the oldest names in Australian stockfeed, made by Ridley in Victoria and sold through produce stores for generations. The range covers four fairly separate jobs, and it helps to know which part of it you are shopping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich range do you need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHorse.\u003c\/strong\u003e The horse range is organised by workload, not by breed.
