[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 679471, member: 6897"] Does a 200 lb. man require twice the calories of a 100 lb. boy?? No...the boy's daily caloric intake is probably even higher than the mans, however, he is much more active and metabolizes it much more rapidly, gains little weight BUT is pretty darn productive. Keep in mind also that when you discuss energy levels you are not always talking about huge differences in feed weights....only much more lighly concentrated levels of energy in the diet being fed. (Good feed -vs- cheap feed) Too often many of us worry to much about hay quality but seldom give any consideration to the quality of any grain ration IF we are supplementing. [/QUOTE]
