D&H Mare & Youngstock Mix - VS - D&H Suregrow

[mandk]

This is for an 11mth old colt to make approx 16.2hh+ (we hope).
Breeding:
Sire: TB x TB/ID
Dam: Selle Francais x Warmblood

Next to no grass at present - but will be fed good haylage until spring grass comes through.
Also, alfa a with feeds twice a day.

I cant vote as i really rate both! If it was mine i would probably go for the m&y mix as he has warmblood in his breeding and they are prone to over growing and the suregrow may have more in it that will encourage this.
but tbh i think either will do the job you need

I've gone for the Suregrow as you feed so little of it you're not likely to overtop him.
Best plan would be to ring D & H, they are very helpful and will give you very good advice.

Have just spoken to them and they recommend Mare & Youngstock mix & Alfalfa........

Ha, just shows you what I don't know as when I rang them about two TB x Irish cobs, they told me the mix would have too many calories in for them and I would have assumed that WBs would have been in a similar category.

. . . . maybe just different advisors???? Although it would be nice to think they work off of the same guidelines.

Does anyone know how much Mare & Youngstock mix is per bag roughly?

 

[scotsmare]

It's not much cheaper than Suregrow and Suregrow will last twice as long.......

Eek Sorry, but Spillers Youngstock over both x

I feed both! Filly not overly keen on the pellets of SureGrow on their own so I add a mugful of the Mare & Youngstock Mix (~350g) to make it more 'interesting' for her. I feed it alongside Fibrebeet and HiFi Lite.

As I said on your other posts, my babies always have Alfa Oil, Sugar Beet and Suregrow
