I just picked up some millet hay grown locally. The NMSU ag. dept. said
that millet is a good horse feed.

Has anyone ever fed millet? Do you know what the protein percentages
are? The millet I have is bearded. Does this ad extra nutrients?

I'll use the millet with alfalfa and beet pulp in the spring. Through
the winter months my horse is turned out in about 800 acres of pasture
that consists of tobosa, gramma and sideoats. Would the millet ease the
stress of switching from pasture grasses to alfalfa?

Thanks,
