Re: sweet feed vs. oats

["Susan Evans Garlinghouse" <suendavid@worldnet.att.net>]

There are some differences between types, grade oats, etc but not a huge
difference, unless the sweet feed contains added fat or an unusual amount of
corn.  It's not really enough to bother working out exact differences---more
or less the same amount is close enough.  It's not like switching from oats
to corn.
