Here are the results of our feeding calculations. Feel free to use them
when ordering feed, it should be close to what you would need. This
is when keeping hay in front of them all the time, and giving treats about 2 to
3 times per week.

WHOLE GRAIN SUPPLEMENT:

Numbers have been rounded off, should suffice for ordering feed.
Environment, activity, pregnancy, etc will all cause variations but these
figures should get you very close to what you will need and not have excess
feed getting stale. Suggest using all the feed on hand within 90 days to
keep it fresh. Feed can also be refrigerated to prolong freshness in an airtight
container. We are
happy to mail order small quantities, just email
us your order. We mix up our whole grain supplement ourselves on an
"as needed" basis to insure freshness when you receive it and do recommend
it be refrigerated or placed in freezer upon arrival.
