[RC] feed, follow the old mare thru a week - Kearby, Kate G Civ 748 CBSG/IS
In our area selenium is pretty good in the hay and soil and
natural water sources. If you follow my old mare thru a week on her
pasture and trail, she eats, some dogwood leaves, some oak leaves, some bluestem,
Bermuda, lesbadeisa (sp a legume somewhat like alfalfa) she’ll drag me to
sunflowers and blackeyed susans, wild oats and broom grass especially in the
winter when dry. she rubs moss off rocks and licks the ‘soil’
below, she picks different puddles some pretty muddy and filters the water thru
her lips sipping. She takes staulky weeds and tender branches from trees
and knaws on them with her jaw teeth and spits them out…. I think
it’s some sort of natural floating she does.
So you got well water, ponds and puddles and all that
in your pasture you probably got everything they need. She turned 28 a
couple months ago. I do give her a treat of a 7% all grain, she did one
LD and near 1000 miles of CTR after she turned 22.
