When to stop grain
#1
My boys will be 2 this spring. We don't have a lot of pasture and they eat what I provide for the bulk of their diet. I feed them some dry cob and alphalfa pellets in a ratio that balances calcium/phosphorus. They don't waste any grain and tend to waste a lot of hay. So I am not looking forward to feeding a lot more hay and eliminating grain. One thing that's been successful about my feeding program is that they've gotten big! I believe they are growing to their full potential. 200#+ right now and 34". They love christmas trees this time of year!!!

I also had some issues with Gussy with hair loss around his eyes. But I found a mineral supplement that they seem to like and that's gone away too. It's just an Equine Block. One of the red bricks. I tried one with molasses that weighed like 35# and they ate that in a week. Won't do that one again.
All I want for Christmas is a new hip.
