[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 1261513, member: 4353"] Several folks were right about that! Leave the oats out, or at least limit it to not more than 25% of the grain part in the ration, add a commercial high protein concentrate so that the mix has a total of about 14% protein. Feed really stemmy hay free choice (if you can get wheat straw it's even better) feed him all the feed he can eat in a day, ideally in three feedings, but unless you can be punctual about it it's better to feed him a days' worth at a time, by the next morning tere should just be a few crumbs left, then you know you're feeding the right amount, the trough should never be licked clean. On that he should gain at around 4.5 lbs per day. [/QUOTE]
