Re: keeping the weight on

["Kathy Roberts" <kathyr@up.net>]

Hi Stephanie,

I had the same problem with my gelding.  I could not put weight on
him.  He did not winter very well so I put him on Strategy which is a
complete feed.  He did ok but then lost some weight.  I switched him
over to Tiz Whiz about 6 weeks ago and I am very pleased with the
results.  He is putting on weight and holding it pretty well.  He is
a qh with a tb personality.  I don't see that it is making home any
more hyper so that is a plus.

Good Luck -
Kathy and Cedar
