[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 211294, member: 9"] IMO a 1000# animal unit should probably have 20 to 30# of roughage (hay, forage) per day. Depends on nutrient analysis. Otherwise, they need the roughage. If one is on same ration as other and not gaining (or losing) weight you may suspect a need to de-worm the non-gainer. This all assumes the animals are healthy otherwise. Also consider that the dominant animal will always eat the best, most, first until they are satisfied. The submissive animal gets what's left over. In "some" instances, animals "share equally" and all, but this is not according to Darwin...lol. Some animals may be "easy keepers" and gain weight on air! Other must stuff themselves to keep in condition. [/QUOTE]
