What to feed the giant baby

@JB

Of your options, TC is generally my choice, simply due to higher levels of copper and zinc, and my soil, and lots around me, has lots of iron (which by default means less cu and zn in forage

Since the entire west coast has LOTS of iron, just like we do here in the western half of NC, my choice would also be TC - a bit more cu/zn than Purina, lower NSC than LMF

Thanks so much everyone for your help!

Think about getting a weight tape and tracking height and weight on a monthly basis. It helps to see their progress month to month and you can identify growth spurts and adjust feed accordingly.

Also keep a close eye on joints for any signs of physitis like heat or enlarged joints. It’s very common in big, fast-growing foals and you need to nip it in the bud. Best to keep them lean, plenty of time to get them fat and slick when they are older.
