[QUOTE="angus9259, post: 1719885, member: 7398"] I am the fella who was feeding alfalfa hay on a different thread and they had the squirts. It turns out I think what they needed was some time. It takes some some (I think) for their gut to adjust after weaning. So I'm feeding alfalfa still (it's all I have) and they've come around nicely - stools are MUCH better. That alfalfa thread also suggested I add some shell corn, which I'm just starting to do now as well. All that said, my preference is to feed some soft grass hay (not first cut stalky stuff) with oats (which can be expensive) - especially on animals I'm retaining so they don't get fat. I might be tempted to add some corn if I was wanting to push them faster. I think the alfalfa for me is going to work out though and may be even better with a bit of shell corn as suggested in the other thread. [/QUOTE]
