[QUOTE="Stickney94, post: 1635205, member: 37941"] There are "ration" calculators that may give you a better answer (I use one from the Univ of Minnesota). As you increase the amount of grain/corn you risk the animals developing acidosis or getting very runny/loose stools or even developing bloat. So, I'd suggest using some mixture of grass and alfalfa if it is not hard to pitch/fork them both. Start 50/50 and if their stools get to runny/loose move to more grass and less alfalfa. If it's hard to fork both, then I'd just use grass hay. [/QUOTE]
