I'm planning on mixing hay and straw for my two good doers (not a blade of grass in the trash paddock and the summer paddocks haven't really come through yet)
So... I've read conflicting info about feeding straw, some say wheat straw can cause impaction colic, others say its barley straw thats the problem as they can get choke on the whiskers, others say oat straw only - what are your opinions and what do you feed? I have two large rounds of wheat straw that are going to waste in the barn, but I'm reluctant to start feeding it until I've got my facts straight!
Thanks
