Our show string and animals are now separate from our 'family use' animals. For the show herd, nothing will change, but I feel that I can perhaps branch out a little more with the family use herd and try to find some alternative that will help make them more economically feasible. Remembering that the one herd may be able to support itself through sales of animals and the other will have to be supported by myself. Therefore one particular feeding regimen that appears to yield good results involves the feeding of loose hay and fresh foods with a grain supplement.
Naturally, much research will need to be done before any switch is made. It's also recommended to try switching from pellet feed to a grain/green diet be done in the spring, when there is a greater availability of fresh foods.
