to feed or not to feed??

[nat_1]

my just turned 2yo(idxcob) is getting huge just from looking at the spring grass coming through now.
she is on a 22 acre field atm but due to go on another big one in a week or so with lots more fresh grss on it.not been grazed since hayed last year.
she has been having 1 stubbs scoop dengie good doer and 1 scoop ff once a day.im thinking of stopping the daily feed.
she is out in day and in at night with 3-4 secs hay,soon to be out 24/7.

so my question is,is there enough vits n mins in the grass and hay to support a growing 2yo or does she need just a bit of good doer with a multi vit supp??

I would definitely cut out the hard feed. Dr green is on his way and that should be sufficient. Overweight youngsters are not a healthy option imo

Would definatly stop the hard feed and just give a handful of something to get the minerals and bits into him.

stick to the grass and hay i always prefer youngsters to be on the leaner side

Holy moly out on 22 acres?! IS it good grass? How many others are with her?

If shes over weight before she goes on that you've got a real lami / obese risk keep a very close eye on her
