The ingredients listed are also good for HOmemade brews! The Corn oats
barley and soy bean meal are exactly what I was feeding to my horses a few
years ago, but the fat wasn't high enough and the vitamins weren't all
balanced, so I quit feeding it. However, this looks like whaat I was TRYING
to find. None of the SS feeds have this type of ingredient/analysis. Purina
cost way too much and my horses don't like it.
Let me know! Thanks- and if you don't mind, I am posting this to the
endurance board (the analysis).
