[QUOTE="Gliderider, post: 202787, member: 3296"] For those of you that use feed, what do you use? I have my new highlands and they came a bit under weight.(I can see hip bones, tail head etc.... and if they were short haired, I'd probably be able to see some ribs. :( ) We have them on horse/cow sweeet feed, fescue hay (When I can get ahold of some, hay is scarce around here.) and free choice loose minerals (Formulated for this area) They are picking up weight slowly, and I know it will take time. But I have the choice to go to straight oats. A farmer close by grows them and feeds him to his horses, and swears by them, along with another neighbor/friend of mine. I know it's ok for my horses, but would it be [b]ok/good/better[/b] for the cows? Just until they add some weight and the grass comes all the way in. They are browsing on the honeysuckle vines and have eaten all the small pine trees and the grass that is coming up slowly. Anyway, I was wondering what ya'll thought about switching to straight oats. Not rolled, steamed, or crimped, just straight oats. [/QUOTE]
