You all are probably thinkin' "WHAT is this girl doin??" LOL
:
I'm just gathering info and seeing what has worked for others.
Thanks for all your replies regarding my first question about winter feeding...
I'm going to flip this a little bit and ask the polar opposite of my original question.....
Does anybody feed round bales to minis? Like truly free choice? And if so, how are they with it?
Are they constantly munching? Do you find there to be a lot of waste? Do they have terrible tubby tummies in the spring?
And don't get me wrong....I would never with hold hay in worry of a pudgy pony...I was just wondering if there were alternative methods to add to their feeding program that would help alleviate the cost/storage, etc of hay and then dealing with the hay bellies come spring.
Believe me...none of my animals go hungry! They're lil' pork chops! LOL
