[QUOTE="kscowboy, post: 744792, member: 6726"] A bale of brome a day should have him fat as a tick. with his Hx of Potomac i would want some blood tests done to see what is going on with him. What does his manure look like and has the vet actually done a parasite test. to give you some reference we maintain a very well conditioned herd and feed about 8-10 inches of brome twice a day thru our winter months without any supplements. thats about a third bale per day per horse or about 20 pounds. If he is truly eating that much he is not absorbing it at all. something is wrong and just adding feed is not going to fix it. [/QUOTE]
