Trying to buy best value minerals is a bit of a minefield, barefoot pony is 15.00 and in light work, but I like to feed from now to Christmas and then start slimming him for spring.
The micronised linseed cost per day........................ 17p
Fast Fibre and non molassed s beet ...................... is 25p
Chaff is ...............................................................10p
Oats ................................................................... 10p
Mins and vits ........................................................ 35p
Total ................................................................... 97p
I know he is not getting max minerals and vitamins, but he is on rough grazing every day, and always looks pretty good.
It is a bit frightening, as I have tried to keep quality up but keep on a tight budget. Could easily have paid £1.50 per day for a similar diet.
Just keep reminding myself that I have saved £500 a year on farrier fees!
I just paid £11.8- for 20Kgs of bruised oats, that is about £590 per tonne, farmers will be getting paid £200 or less!
