[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1405947, member: 25884"] If you have had her on 3x a day, then cutting back to 2x a day will help her to want to eat more feed. If she is eating feed good after 2x a day for 2 weeks, cut back to once a day for a week or 2 and then stop. Make sure she is drinking plenty of water too. Use a bucket that you can monitor rather than a water trough til you are sure she knows what the water is for. Sometimes they will get thickheaded about not drinking the water at first. Think you are doing fine with her. [/QUOTE]
